Subscriber Key

Unique identifier for a subscriber in Marketing Cloud, ideally the Salesforce Contact or Lead ID rather than email.

Definition

Using a stable ID allows the same email address to belong to multiple subscribers and avoids duplication when addresses change.

Exam tip

Best practice: use the CRM ID, not email address, as Subscriber Key.
