sf-datacloud-act

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 the result with sf data360 activation list.

An activation target defines the destination for audience activations, while a data action target defines the destination for data actions. Both must be created before their corresponding activation or data action, using sf data360 activation-target create or data-action-target create.

You need an external community sf data360 CLI plugin installed in the Salesforce CLI and a Data Cloud-enabled org. The skill also references a diagnose-org.mjs script for readiness classification before mutating activation assets.

Common causes include an unpublished or unhealthy upstream segment, missing destination configuration, or gated activation surfaces indicated by CdpActivationTarget or CdpActivationExternalPlatform errors. Inspect platforms and targets read-only first, then check permissions and destination setup.

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