Top Summer '22 Salesforce Customer Data Platform Features



Customer Data Platform, formerly known as Salesforce CDP, assists you in connecting and integrating customer data across systems, powering the connected and personalized marketing experiences that your customers expect, and analyzing cross-channel engagement behavior. Customer Data Platform can be used to activate loyalty, transaction, and engagement attributes, among other things. Marketers can enhance personalized communications by sending additional customer profile information to marketing platforms such as Marketing Cloud Engagement.


Let's have a look at the updated features,


​​With Key Qualifiers, you can ensure accurate calculated insights.


Customer Data Platform now uses key qualifiers as primary keys to avoid conflicts when ingesting and harmonizing data. Add key qualifiers to joins and dimensions in Calculated Insights to ensure accurate metric and dimension calculation.

How: Go to Calculated Insights and select New. Before saving the calculated insight, select Create with SQL and add key qualifiers to joins and dimensions.


Relationships between Data Model Objects (DMO) must be managed.


All DMOs now have additional relationship status details, allowing users to easily review and activate relationships while mapping or from the DMO's record home. Originally, you had to delete relationships, but now you can simply change their status without having to worry about manually re-creating them later.

For example, you could add a calculated insight to a data kit from one organization for testing and then install it in another organization for production use.
