data360-activate

First verify the segment is published and healthy, then inspect available platforms with sf data360 activation platforms, create an activation target, and finally create the activation with sf data360 activation create. Verify readiness by listing activations afterward.

Activation targets define destinations for audience activations, while data action targets define endpoints for event-driven data actions. Both are created before their respective activation or data action resources using definition JSON files.

You need a Data Cloud-enabled org, the external sf data360 CLI plugin installed, and a published upstream segment. The skill also recommends running the diagnose-org readiness classifier for the act phase before mutating any activation assets.

These errors mean the activation surface is gated for the current org or user. Instead of retrying, review activation setup, user permissions, and destination configuration to resolve the gating issue.

Do not use it for building segments or insights, which belongs to segmentation work, or for query and search index tasks. It also does not cover base connection setup or data ingestion, which are earlier lifecycle phases.
