The Magic Science in SFMC’s Einstein AI

Living in the AI era, where autonomous agents have revolutionized the activities we can perform, it is only normal for it to also be part of the #1 CRM in the world. Einstein in SFMC is capable of providing better Journey management, distributing communications at the most likely time a person would open their inbox, categorizing consumers, automatically tagging content, and much more. This is not just simple coding, but Digital Divination —granting us the ability to peer into the void of engagement data and predict the future to be everywhere at once and create multilingual comms for every creature in this realm to understand.

Within the Einstein module there is a feature called 'Overview', which is a general central view of all the different offered modules. If any widget in that view is interacted with, a redirection to their detailed module occurs. Additionally, more information on each widget is displayed if you click on ‘Details’.

This incredible Scrutinizing Crystal Ball peers into the souls of your mortal subscribers, and uses a science-bound magic ritual of machine learning to assign them Personas (engagement predictive scores), providing for each of your consumers the likelihood to engage with our email or push communications. These generated scores are stored in accessible Data Extensions an can be used for the below:

These generated scores Data Extensions are called:

When the activity is used in Journey Builder, we have the possibility to select how to manage the decisions —to split based on the channel we are using for the communication (email / push).

Even though the Persona split allows for options with different names, all available options operate under the same likelihood conditions —Most, More, Less and Least:

As we will see with other Einstein features, these are highly focused to be used in or accompanying Journey Builder. Messaging Insights is not the exception, as it generates alerts that warn you of any abnormal changes in the performance of your sent emails. It may also recommend specific adjustments to improve Journeys.

Even though these insights are helpful for guidance, they do not always reflect the current reality of practices as they are still provided by an AI.

The most commonly known and used Einstein feature. Also referred to as “STO” (due to its acronym), this Time Magic is your best friend to deliver emails or push notifications when it is most likely human souls will engage with our communications.

With this Time Magic, Einstein analyzes in a Business Unit the past 90 days of engagement data SFMC retrieves about subscribers’ interactions, and due to their engagement with the comm it is predicted with a science-bound magic ritual of machine learning the exact hour when the platform sends the messages, boosting key performance indicators (KPIs)..

As with all of the above-and-below-mentioned features, data is organized and displayed within the Einstein module in SFMC. For STO there are several helpful ones, such as:

Based on available insights, Einstein Frequency data (Over and Under saturation only) can be channeled to create Data Extensions

The Scales of Balance require you to initially broadcast to your subscribers at least 5 communications over a 28-day period [using a Commercial Send Classification] to properly model for engagement frequency.

Open metrics may be less reliable due to subscribers’ mail auto-open privacy settings.

This linguistic analysis artifact dissects the spells layered on your Subject lines to reveal which emotional tones, words, phrases and symbols truly compel your audience, predicting performance against your past sent messages.

The Lexicon of Enchantment reviews up to 90 days of email engagement data [excluding Test and Transactional sends] and returns insights on how to enchant with more impact your Subject lines to increase interactions.

Even though these insights are helpful for guidance, they do not always reflect the current reality of practices as they are still provided by an AI.

Could you imagine if an incantation could work automatically and shapeshift according to the user’s soul? The Shapeshifting Grimoire allows Einstein to choose the most alluring content or offer (from a catalogue of images) for a subscriber at the precise millisecond the email is opened.

To cast a ritual from the Shapeshifting Grimoire, there are a diverse variety of assets that must be meticulously organized:

Channeling through Einstein the powers of Google Vision AI, this feature automatically identifies and tags imagery within Content Builder, sort of an All-Seeing Eye. These searchable tags contain a prefix that you can define, as well as the maximum tags an image can contain, and the confidence level that Einstein assigns.

⛔ Artifact Limits

Even though these insights are helpful for guidance, they do not always reflect the current reality of assets as they are still provided by an AI.
