# Salesforce Dmp Krux Export Integration

You can export segments from Treasure Data directly to Salesforce DMP Krux using S3.

Salesforce DMP Krux helps collect and unify data from digital interactions across devices and use it to better understand your customers, for better marketing experiences. It unifies consumer data from first and third-party sources and algorithmically determines personas that best define a brand’s audience.

## Prerequisites

- Basic knowledge of Treasure Data, including the [TD Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/).
- An S3 credential is provided by Salesforce.
- Authorized Treasure Data account access.


## Supported

TD supports the export of the following data columns:

- {{identity_id}} that is our {{uid1}}
- list of attributes: {{attr1:value1,attr2:value2 }}
- segments: {{segment:segment1,segment2,segment3}}


## Limitations

This integration has three limitations:

- **24-hour data delay**. Salesforce has a daily batch process that picks up the files posted by this connector on S3 and then processes their contents before applying updates to audiences. Therefore, the connector has up to a 24-hour data delay before it is picked up by Salesforce DMP.
- **Audience updated replacement**. If the connector runs twice on the same day, the second run replaces, not appends to, the file created by the first run. It is designed this way because Salesforce DMP requires that all updates to an audience within a single day to be consolidated into a single file per day. A "day" is in the UTC timezone.
- **Deduplication is not supported**. Same user ID records can be duplicated depends on output results.


These limitations can impact how this connector can be used as an activation for Audience Studio. For more information, see Understanding Semantics.

## Query Requirements

With the currently supported data for export, the query result must meet the following conditions:

- The first column is named **user_id**, the second column is named **td_segment**.
- Those 2 columns above must have the **string** data type.
- The remaining columns will be saved as attributes that correspond to the format: **column_name:value.**


## Designing a TD Workflow that Accommodates KRUX Semantics

The limitations can impact how this connector can be used as an activation for Audience Studio. Because you likely need to activate more than a single segment to Salesforce DMP per day, the following design is recommended:

1. Create a database called "activate_to_krux".


It is recommended that the target table in "activate_to_krux" have a common prefix such as "segment_".

1. From Audience Studio, use the Treasure Data Output activation and activate the "activate_to_krux" database.


This activation can contain at least two columns: KUID for Krux ID, segment_name for the name of the segment, which later becomes attributes name on Salesforce DMP.

1. Create a daily Treasure Data Workflow that:


- scans "activate_to_krux"
- consolidates all tables into one table
- reformats the table into the format outlined in this documentation
- outputs to Salesforce DMP


## Obtaining Salesforce KRUX Authentication Information

1. Open Salesforce DMP.
2. Locate the following:


| Parameter | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| client name | e.g. client-treasure-data |
| access key id |  |
| secret access key |  |


## Use TD Console to Create your Connection

### Create a New Connection

You must create and configure the data connection to be used during export, before running your query. As part of the data connection, you provide authentication to access the integration.

1. Open **TD Console**.
2. Navigate to **Integrations Hub** >  **Catalog**.
3. Search for and select Salesforce DMP.

1. Select **Create Authentication.** You are creating an authenticated connection.
2. Specify the following authentication information:


Edit the client name (e.g. client-treasure-data), access key id, and secret access key that you retrieved from Salesforce DMP.

1. Enter a name for your connection.
2. Select **Done.**


### Define your Query

#### Integration Parameters for Salesforce DMP Krux Export

![](/assets/image2021-3-15_15-20-19.8795a983bd9077e2976a754294c9a997dc4e1f0fcb97e9bff11c97854458069d.a09d4b46.png)

| Parameter | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| Export Data | The first-party segment type is supported. |
| Skip invalid records |  |
| Append exported results into same date folder path: | If selected, new files are created when the user exports data many times into the same destination. If clear, data is replaced. |


#### Example Query

**user_id_value1^td_segment:segment_value1;attribute1:attribute_value1;attribute2:attribute_value2...**

For example:


```
267b785fabde^td_segment:M6PM09NM,A6P77ATH,S9K6FWIG,SRECHH8N;email:julie@elliott.com;firstname:Britty;lastname:Morris
```

Here is an example of what the conventional query results might look like:


```sql
SELECT user_id, td_segment, email, firstname, lastname
FROM (VALUES
  ('uid1', 'seg1,seg2', 'test_user@abc.com', 'Britty', 'Morris'),
  ('uid2', 'seg1,seg2,seg3,seg4', 'test_user1@abc.com', 'David', 'Morris'),
  ('uid3', 'seg1', 'test_user2@abc.com', 'Halley', 'Morris')
   ) AS first_data(user_id, td_segment, email, firstname, lastname)
```

### (Optional) Schedule Query Export Jobs

You can use Scheduled Jobs with Result Export to periodically write the output result to a target destination that you specify.

Treasure Data's scheduler feature supports periodic query execution to achieve high availability.

When two specifications provide conflicting schedule specifications, the specification requesting to execute more often is followed while the other schedule specification is ignored.

For example, if the cron schedule is `'0 0 1 * 1'`, then the 'day of month' specification and 'day of week' are discordant because the former specification requires it to run every first day of each month at midnight (00:00), while the latter specification requires it to run every Monday at midnight (00:00). The latter specification is followed.

#### Scheduling your Job Using TD Console

1. Navigate to **Data Workbench > Queries**
2. Create a new query or select an existing query.
3. Next to **Schedule**, select None.

A single space is required between each field. The values for each field can be composed of:

| Field Value | Example | Example Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| A single value, within the limits displayed above for each field. |  |  |
| A wildcard `'*'` to indicate no restriction based on the field. | `'0 0 1 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) on the first day of each month. |
| A range `'2-5'`, indicating the range of accepted values for the field. | `'0 0 1-10 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) on the first 10 days of each month. |
| A list of comma-separated values `'2,3,4,5'`, indicating the list of accepted values for the field. | `0 0 1,11,21 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) every 1st, 11th, and 21st day of each month. |
| A periodicity indicator `'*/5'` to express how often based on the field's valid range of values a schedule is allowed to run. | `'30 */2 1 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run on the 1st of every month, every 2 hours starting at 00:30. `'0 0 */5 * *'` configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) every 5 days starting on the 5th of each month. |
| A comma-separated list of any of the above except the `'*'` wildcard is also supported `'2,*/5,8-10'`. | `'0 0 5,*/10,25 * *'` | Configures the schedule to run at midnight (00:00) every 5th, 10th, 20th, and 25th day of each month. |


1. (Optional) You can delay the start time of a query by enabling the Delay execution.


### Execute the Query

Save the query with a name and run, or just run the query. Upon successful completion of the query, the query result is automatically exported to the specified destination.

Scheduled jobs that continuously fail due to configuration errors may be disabled on the system side after several notifications.

(Optional) You can delay the start time of a query by enabling the Delay execution.

## Activate a Segment in Audience Studio

You can also send segment data to the target platform by creating an activation in the Audience Studio.

1. Navigate to **Audience Studio**.
2. Select a parent segment.
3. Open the target segment, right-mouse click, and then select **Create Activation.**
4. In the **Details** panel, enter an Activation name and configure the activation according to the previous section on Configuration Parameters.
5. Customize the activation output in the **Output Mapping** panel.
