Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Consultant — Question 67

A customer indicates their point-of-sale system can be configured to upload a file every fifteen minutes. The filename is not consistent for each upload. Their consultant recommends they use a File Drop Automation.
Which two considerations should be made? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The directory can contain no more than five file triggers.
• B. The directory used by the file trigger should be inside the import directory.
• C. They may utilize their own FTP site as long as it supports SFTP.
• D. The directory is unable to be used by another File Drop Automation.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because the file trigger must be placed in the import directory to function properly. Option D is also correct as the directory cannot be shared with another File Drop Automation to avoid conflicts. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not apply to the functionality and requirements of the File Drop Automation.
