Program Overview: What is Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud)?
Salesforce Data 360 (formerly Data Cloud) is instructor-led corporate training that builds hands-on Data 360 capability. Over 24 hours, Salesforce admins, marketers, and data specialists learn to ingest first-party data, resolve identities into unified profiles, and activate segments across marketing and CRM, all practiced in guided labs.
The method is lab-driven. Each stage of the Data 360 pipeline pairs a concise briefing with hands-on building: configuring ingestion connectors, modeling data objects, writing identity resolution rulesets, and pushing segments to activation targets. Instructors review every build, so misconceptions surface in the room instead of in your rollout. Your team leaves with a working Data 360 flow for their own use case.
The payoff is a team that can run Data 360, not just describe it. Unified customer profiles power sharper segmentation, consent-aware activation, and marketing that performs. Your organization keeps a repeatable rollout playbook: ingestion to identity to insight to activation, run the same way every time.
The capstone is a full Data 360 build: each team designs ingestion, identity resolution, insights, segments, and activation for their use case, presented for instructor review.

Connect Salesforce Data 360 Profiles With Responsible Segmentation and Activation
Edstellar connects Data 360 configuration with understandable customer profiles and responsible activation.

Plan
Platform foundations lead through connectors, data modeling, identity resolution, calculated insights, and segmentation before consent-aware activation and an integrated use case.
- Step 03
Align
Customer-data platform expertise supports administrators, marketers, and data teams, making ingestion and identity concepts accessible without assuming deep data-engineering experience.
- Step 04
Customize
Synthetic profiles and interaction records reflect relevant customer journeys, enabling identity-resolution and consent exercises without importing personal customer information.

Execute
Teams configure ingestion, build segments, and test activation with consent checks, receiving feedback on mapping choices, matching logic, and activation boundaries.
