1In Acoustic Campaign, what is the primary purpose of a database?
A.It is a static image-hosting library for email assets
B.It is a real-time dashboard that only displays deliverability metrics
C.It is the starting point that stores contact information and can be segmented into lists
D.It is a queue that holds outbound SMS messages before they are sent
Explanation: A database in Acoustic Campaign is the foundational contact source: it is a set of contact information (email, SMS, mobile) that you can segment into lists and use across many features such as mailings, queries, forms, and programs. Almost every Campaign workflow begins by selecting a database as the contact source.
2Acoustic Campaign offers two database types. Which pair correctly names them?
A.Primary and secondary
B.Public and private
C.Flexible and restricted
D.Transactional and marketing
Explanation: Campaign supports two database types: flexible (non-keyed) and restricted (keyed). A flexible database allows duplicate contacts and is keyed only loosely, while a restricted database uses a unique key field (such as a customer ID) to enforce one record per key, which is important for integrations and de-duplication.
3A marketer wants to send only to contacts in a database whose state field equals 'CA' and who opened an email in the last 30 days. Which Campaign object should they build?
A.A relational table
B.A seed list
C.A suppression list
D.A query
Explanation: A query is a saved subset of a database defined by criteria related to the contacts, such as profile field values and behavioral conditions. The marketer would build a query against the database that filters on state = CA and an opened-in-last-30-days behavior, then use that query as the contact source for the mailing.
4What is the defining difference between a query and a contact list in Acoustic Campaign?
A.A query is dynamic and re-evaluates criteria at runtime, while a contact list is a static, manually built set of contacts
B.A query can only be used for SMS, while a contact list can only be used for email
C.A query stores contacts permanently, while a contact list is deleted after every send
D.A query requires a relational table, while a contact list does not
Explanation: A query is a dynamic, rule-based subset of a database that re-evaluates its membership against the current contacts each time it runs, so its size changes as data changes. A contact list is a fixed, explicitly assembled group of contacts that does not change unless you edit it directly.
5What is the role of a relational table in Acoustic Campaign?
A.To replace the database as the primary contact source for all mailings
B.To store the HTML of reusable email templates
C.To hold only suppressed email addresses that must never be contacted
D.To store supplementary data (such as orders or transactions) that is associated with a database and can be referenced for personalization and segmentation
Explanation: A relational table stores supplementary records (for example, purchases, reservations, or loyalty events) that relate to contacts through a key. You associate a relational table with one or more databases and then reference it for dynamic content, personalization, and query criteria, enabling one-to-many data such as multiple orders per contact.
6Before you can associate a relational table with a database, what must you do first?
A.Send a test mailing to a seed list
B.Purchase a dedicated IP address
C.Create the database, then associate the table with it
D.Disable double opt-in for that organization
Explanation: To use a relational table you must first create a database and then associate the relational table with that database. A single relational table can be associated with multiple databases, which lets you reuse the same supplementary data across audiences.
7When importing into a relational table via the API, which ACTION processes every record, updating matching records and inserting records that do not yet exist?
A.ADD_ONLY
B.UPDATE_ONLY
C.ADD_AND_UPDATE
D.REPLACE
Explanation: ADD_AND_UPDATE processes all records in the source file: if a record already exists in the relational table it updates the specified field values, and if it does not exist it creates a new record. This 'upsert' behavior is the most common choice for keeping a relational table synchronized with a source system.
8In the Campaign API GetLists response, LIST TYPE 6 identifies which kind of entity?
A.Suppression lists
B.Relational tables
C.Test lists
D.Seed lists
Explanation: In the GetLists API, the TYPE values map specific entities: 0 is Databases, 1 is Queries, 5 is Test lists, 6 is Seed lists, 13 is Suppression lists, and 15 is Relational tables. So a TYPE of 6 returns Seed lists, which hold internal monitoring addresses added to production sends.
9What is the purpose of a seed list in Acoustic Campaign?
A.To permanently block contacts who have unsubscribed
B.To define the criteria for a dynamic segment
C.To store leads imported from a CRM before they are validated
D.To add internal monitoring addresses to a production send so the team can see how the live email renders and arrives
Explanation: A seed list is a set of internal addresses (often team members or inbox-monitoring accounts) that are added to an actual production send. Seeds receive the live mailing alongside real recipients so you can confirm rendering, deliverability, and inbox placement across providers without affecting your contact data.
10A compliance team requires that a specific group of contacts never receive marketing email, regardless of which database or query is used for a send. Which Campaign feature enforces this?
A.A seed list applied to the mailing
B.A test list created from the database
C.A suppression list associated with the send
D.A relational table with a 'do not contact' column
Explanation: A suppression list holds addresses that must be excluded from sends. When a suppression list is associated with a mailing or database, any contact on it is removed from the audience before the email goes out, which is the reliable way to honor do-not-contact and global opt-out requirements.
