A customer creates a large segment of customers that placed orders in the last 30 days, and adds related attributes from the… to the activation. Upon…

The issue arises because the segment correctly identifies customers who have placed an order in the last 30 days, but the activation, by default, pulls the entire order history for those customers when related order attributes are included. The segmentation filter qualifies the individual, but it does not filter the related data being activated. To resolve this, a specific filter must be applied during the activation setup on the related attributes from the Sales Order object. This ensures that only the orders matching the desired time frame (last 30 days) are sent to the activation target, aligning the activated data with the segment's intent.

1. Salesforce Help

"Add Related Attributes to an Activation": This document explicitly describes the solution. It states

"To refine the attributes that are included in your activation

you can apply filters... For example

for a segment of customers who made a purchase in the last 30 days

you can add attributes from the Sales Order object. To include only the orders that were placed in the last 30 days

apply a filter on the Purchase Date attribute." This directly supports applying a filter during activation to the related object's date field.

2. Salesforce Help

"Activation": This documentation outlines the process of creating an activation. In the section detailing the configuration steps

it mentions the ability to select and filter related attributes. It clarifies that segmentation defines the audience

while activation settings define the specific data payload for that audience

including any necessary filters on related data.
