A client has recently implemented Adobe Target for an Android application that uses AEP Mobile SDK and passes a custom visitor ID from a CRM system. Which API method can be used to retrieve the custom

Question

Options

• AgetTntId()
• BVisitor.getInstance(`YOUR-UNIQUE-ORG-ID@AdobeOrg').getMarketingCloudVisitorID();
• CgetThirdPartyId()
• DgetCustomId()

• A
  15% (6)
• B
  7% (3)
• C
  73% (30)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

getThirdPartyId() is correct because Adobe Target uses the term "third-party ID" specifically to refer to custom visitor identifiers passed in from external systems like a CRM - it is the designated API for retrieving an ID that the client, not Adobe, defines and controls.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. getTntId() - retrieves the TNT ID, which is Adobe Target's own internally generated visitor identifier, not a custom CRM value.
• B. Visitor.getInstance(...).getMarketingCloudVisitorID() - retrieves the Adobe Experience Cloud ID (ECID), a cross-solution Adobe identity, which is unrelated to a client-supplied CRM ID.
• D. getCustomId() - this method does not exist in the Adobe Target or AEP Mobile SDK API; it is a plausible-sounding distractor.

Memory tip: Think "third party = your party." When you (the client) bring an ID from your CRM into Adobe Target, it's treated as a "third-party" ID because it originates outside of Adobe's ecosystem - so the API that handles it is getThirdPartyId().
