Q & A

What is the first step to set up a Data Cloud-enabled Salesforce org according to the tutorial?

The first step is to navigate to the self-service Workshop setup link, open the Coral Cloud sample app, and sign up using your email.

How do you verify your email during the signup process?

After signing up, Salesforce sends a verification code to your email. You need to copy the code, paste it in the verification field, and submit it.

What information must be provided after email verification?

You must provide your last name, company name, role, and relationship, then accept the terms to create a playground.

What should users do after receiving the password setup email?

Users should click the password setup link in the email, create a new password, and log in to the org.

Where can you access the Data Cloud setup within the Salesforce org?

You can access it directly within the org by navigating to the Data Cloud setup section.

What is the difference between the Salesforce org endpoint and the Data Cloud tenant endpoint?

The Salesforce org endpoint is where standard Salesforce services like Sales Cloud or Marketing Cloud run, whereas the Data Cloud tenant endpoint is a separate endpoint specifically for the Data Cloud instance.

Why is it important to remember the Data Cloud tenant endpoint?

Because it is used by connectors to send data to the Data Cloud instance, and it is logically separate from the main Salesforce org endpoint.

What built-in connection is available in a Data Cloud-enabled org?

There is a pre-configured Salesforce CRM connector that links the Salesforce org to the Data Cloud instance, allowing data to be pulled easily.

Can you pull data from Salesforce into Data Cloud without additional setup?

Yes, because the Salesforce CRM connector is already established when the Data Cloud is enabled in the org.

What key concept should users understand about Data Cloud in the Salesforce org?

Even though Data Cloud is provisioned in the same Salesforce org, it operates on a separate tenant endpoint, meaning it is logically distinct from the main Salesforce services.

What is the purpose of creating a playground during setup?

Creating a playground provides a dedicated environment to experiment with and explore the Data Cloud features without affecting the main Salesforce org data.

What should users do after creating their password and logging in?

Users should save their username and familiarize themselves with the Data Cloud setup, including checking the tenant endpoint and available connectors.
