The SQL statement in question does not return any records because it is joining on the EmailAddress field, which is not present in the _Bounce Data View. The correct approach is to join using the SubscriberKey (or SubscriberID). Here is the corrected SQL statement:

SELECT s.EmailAddress, s.SubscriberKey, b.JobID, b.EventDate, b.SMTPBounceReason FROM _Subscribers s JOIN _Bounce b ON s.SubscriberKey = b.SubscriberKey WHERE b.EventDate > DateAdd(DAY, -30, GETDATE())

This ensures that the join is based on the SubscriberKey, which is a common field in both data views.

The best Data Type to use for the Purchase_Price column, which includes values ranging from '$.05' to '$100', is Decimal(9,2) (C). This data type ensures that values are stored accurately without data loss, allowing for precision up to two decimal places.

When configuring an automation to import files placed on the SFTP, and starting the automation based on a file matching a specific naming pattern, the substitution string that represents the name of the file is %%TRIGGER_FILENAME%%. This substitution string is used to reference the filename of the triggering file in the File Import Activity.

An Exclusion Script is used to exclude certain subscribers from an email send based on defined criteria. It can also log or capture details of those excluded addresses for reporting purposes.

Exclusion Script: This script runs before the send and can dynamically exclude recipients based on logic you define. It allows you to prevent competitors from receiving the email and to log their email addresses.

To reference subscriber, system, and sendable Data Extension attributes for content personalization using SSJS, the correct syntax is <ctrl:field name="attributeName" />. This tag allows you to dynamically insert the value of an attribute into the email content.

<ctrl:field> Tag: This tag is used to insert the value of an attribute from a Data Extension or subscriber attribute into the content. The name attribute of the <ctrl:field> tag specifies which attribute's value should be used.

%%[ var @firstName set @firstName = AttributeValue("FirstName") ]%% Hello, !

To securely pass parameters between CloudPages without exposing them, use the CloudPagesURL function within a form action. This method encodes the parameters and securely posts them to the target CloudPage.

CloudPagesURL: Encodes and includes parameters securely.

Form Method: Using the post method ensures parameters are sent in the request body, adding another layer of security.

Profile attributes like AGE in Profile Manager are not directly accessible via the _Subscribers data view or _EnterpriseAttribute data view. To retrieve subscribers over 30 years of age, creating a filtered Group based on the AGE attribute is the most effective method.

The Sent data view contains records of all emails that have been sent, including details such as JobID, EventDate, and other relevant information. To gather the required information about emails deployed in the last seven days, the Sent data view should be used.

Query Example:

SELECT JobID, EventDate, COUNT(*) as SentCount FROM _Sent WHERE EventDate >= DATEADD(day, -7, GETDATE()) GROUP BY JobID, EventDate

To remove contacts mistakenly synced from the User_Salesforce object, the recommended approach is to put the synced records into a sendable data extension and use Contact Delete (C). This method allows for the systematic deletion of these contacts from the All Contacts table without affecting other data.
