⏮ Back to Proactive Services: Monitoring Overview
The Signature Success Plan for Marketing Cloud: Account Engagement, comes with Proactive Services and Smart Alerts that will notify you in real-time when your custom salesforce solution has inefficiencies, application performance degradations or errors.
Here is a list of the current smart alerts available through Proactive Services, including their technical descriptions, business impacts, and the insights you will get from each one.
| Category | Name | Technical Description | Business Impacts Insights Delivered |
| Performance | Active Automation Rules | Automation Rules & Dynamic Lists make changes to prospects in your database automatically once the defined criteria is met. | Your Account Engagement edition has tight limits on how many Automation rules & Dynamic Lists are active at any given time and can take up a lot of processing. Once a high number of rules has been identified, the active rules may require an audit. |
| Performance | Archived Prospects | Marketing Databases need regular cleaning. Archiving prospects is an important part of that for maintaining database health. | Proactive Monitoring will notify you in the event there have been a large number of Prospects archived in recent history so the archived prospects can be validated and restored if needed. |
| Performance | Custom Objects Per Prospect Account | A large number of custom objects related to a single prospect account can lead to data skew issues. | Once a high number of custom objects on a Prospect Account has been identified, action may need to be taken to maintain account efficiency. |
| Performance | Custom Objects Per Prospect | A large number of custom objects related to a single prospect can lead to data skew issues. | Once a high number of custom objects on a Prospect has been identified, action may need to be taken to maintain account efficiency. |
| Performance | Email Recipient List Count | Extremely large email recipient lists can have a negative impact on the send time. | Once identified, the recipient lists for sends may require some optimisation to ensure the right audience is receiving the mails in a timely manner. |
| Performance | Email Suppression List Count | Suppression lists omit prospects from list emails. To minimize email send times, ensure the Suppression lists are well managed. | Once a large suppression list has been identified, it may require re-evaluation to ensure list accuracy and maintain, or increase, account efficiency. |
| Performance | Inactive Engagement Studio Programs | An inactive program means that in the last 30 days, no new prospects have entered the program. | Once inactive programs have been identified, they should be deleted or paused to maintain account efficiency. |
| Performance | Prospects Per Prospect Account | A large number of Prospects related to a single prospect account can lead to data skew issues. | Once identified, Prospects may need to be redistributed across Prospect Accounts to maintain account efficiency. |
| Performance | Opportunities per Prospect | A large number of Opportunities related to a single Prospect can lead to data skew issues. | Once identified, Opportunities may need to be redistributed across Prospects to maintain account efficiency. |
| Performance | Page Views | An extreme number of page views may indicate bot activity that could be disruptive to visitor tracking. | Once identified, review the pages with tracking code to ensure it's only present on high value pages for lead capture. |
| Performance | Prospect Imports | Importing large volumes of prospects within a 24 hour period can create inefficiencies in your environment. | Once identified, review recent imports and any API integrations that may create prospects in order to stay within thresholds and maintain account efficiency. |
| Performance | Prospects per Opportunity | A large number of Prospects related to a single Opportunity can lead to data skew issues. | Once identified, Prospects may need to be redistributed across Opportunities to maintain account efficiency. |
| Performance | Prospects with Excessive Activity | Prospects with unusually high levels of activity may cause disruption to activity tracking. | Once identified, to present activity tracking being paused, a review of active prospects may be required to maintain tracking. |
| Performance | Prospects with Paused Activity | Prospects who have unusually high levels of activity may become paused. | Once Paused Prospects are identified, they should be reviewed and deleted if the unusual activity cannot be explained. |
| Performance | Unarchived Prospects | In order to maintain account efficiency, the no. of unarchived prospects should stay under 25 million. | Once identified, active prospects should be reviewed in order to archive eligible prospects and maintain account efficiency. |
