Unlock Your Data with Data Cloud

Hello! Welcome to the Unlock Your Data with Data Cloud trail. This trail is aimed at Salesforce administrators, data professionals, and anyone interested in learning how Data Cloud can transform their business and customer experiences.

The content in this trail is aligned with the Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant exam. It’s designed to help you skill up on Data Cloud while setting you up for success–whether your goal is to apply what you learn to your job, obtain the Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant credential, or both.

The trail consists of six sections.

Learn About Data Cloud Capabilities
Set Up and Administer Data Cloud
Connect and Model Your Data
Resolve Identity
Segment and Gain Insights
Act on Data

Each section aligns to an exam objective in the certification exam guide. It includes a mix of Trailhead badges–many with hands-on learning experiences–along with videos and demos presented by a Salesforce Data Cloud instructor, and knowledge checks to validate what you learn.

A Special Data Cloud Org

You need to use a special Data Cloud org to complete the hands-on challenges in this trail. You set up this org when you get to the Set Up and Administer Data Cloud section of this trail. Once set up, the org is available to you for 14 days.

A regular Trailhead Playground won’t work for the hands-on challenges in this trail because Data Cloud is not enabled in Playgrounds.

What Is Data Cloud?

Now that you learned about the trail and the org you’ll use, let’s dig into Data Cloud. In this 9-minute video, you learn how Data Cloud enhances your business with unified customer data, trusted generative AI, and improved data usability. You see how Data Cloud connects your data, giving you a single view of your customers so you can engage them with relevant and valuable insights. And finally, you learn about Data Cloud’s open and extensible platform and its data security features through industry-specific use cases.

What’s Next?

Now that you learned the basics of Data Cloud, take the quiz and continue on with the trail. We recommend that you consume the content in the order presented to get the most out of your learning and to be able to complete each hands-on challenge.

We included documentation in the Resources section of each Trailhead badge to supplement your learning. These resources are meant to enhance your understanding of Data Cloud and act as helpful study material for the exam.
