To ensure there's a limit to the number of times a particular image asset can be chosen for a customer, Northern Trail Outfitters should set fatigue rules for the product asset classes. Fatigue rules are settings that allow marketers to control how often an asset can be selected for a customer within a specified time period. For example, a fatigue rule can prevent an asset from being selected more than once in 14 days.

To query Marketing Cloud for send data across SMS, Push, and email, Northern Trail Outfitters should use _Send Data Views. Data Views are system-generated tables that store tracking and system data for different channels and platforms in Marketing Cloud. _Send Data Views contain information about email sends, SMS sends, and push sends across different business units and accounts.

Two solutions that could pull in the RSS feed at the time of send for Northern Trail Outfitters' weekly email newsletter are:

AMPscript. AMPscript is a scripting language that can be used to retrieve and display dynamic content from external sources, such as RSS feeds, in emails.

External Content. External Content is a feature that allows marketers to create blocks of content from external sources, such as RSS feeds, in Content Builder.

Dynamic Content is not a solution for pulling in RSS feeds, as it is used to display different content based on subscriber attributes or rules. Personalization Strings are not a solution for pulling in RSS feeds, as they are used to display subscriber or account information in emails.

Using an import activity to import a file from the SFTP can be used to maintain an auto-suppression list. An import activity allows users to import data from a file on the Marketing Cloud FTP into a data extension or list. An auto-suppression list is a type of exclusion list that prevents subscribers from receiving certain types of messages based on criteria such as email address, subscriber key, or domain.

Two actions that would successfully write send time variables to their Send Log are:

Match an AMPscript variable name to a Send Log field. This action will allow the customer to write the value of an AMPscript variable to a corresponding field in the Send Log data extension. For example, if the customer has a Send Log field named ProductName and an AMPscript variable named @ProductName, then the value of @ProductName will be written to the ProductName field in the Send Log.

Use the WriteToLog() AMPscript function in the content. This action will allow the customer to write one or more values to a specified field in the Send Log data extension using an AMPscript function. For example, if the customer wants to write the value of @ProductName and @ProductPrice to the ProductInfo field in the Send Log, they can use WriteToLog(''ProductInfo'',@ProductName,@ProductPrice) in their content.

Ensuring the send log is linked in an attribute group is not necessary for writing send time variables to their Send Log, as it is only used for creating relationships between data sources in Contact Builder. Enabling send logging to a data extension during send process is not an action that would write send time variables to their Send Log, as it is only a setting that enables or disables send logging for a specific email send.
