Sync Your Consumer Profile Data Extension

If your organization has consumer or customer profile data that you want Einstein Content Selection to use when making selections, sync the sendable data extension that contains your customer profile data. When the data extension gets updated, sync it again so Einstein has the latest profile data. Or set up automatic daily profile syncing so you don’t have to.

To access this setting, first upload an asset catalog file.

Consumer profile data attributes are attributes that marketers use to differentiate customers into segments, such as primary product category of interest, favorite brand-related activity, country of residence, or language.

  • Identify Attributes That Can Introduce Bias
    To help you ensure that your customer profile attributes don’t facilitate intentional or unintentional bias, Einstein Content Selection scans and flags English language profile attributes that can introduce bias. Einstein scans attribute names and attribute values, then notifies you that an attribute you created can introduce bias so that you can decide whether to include, edit, or exclude the attribute.
