Experience Data Model (XDM) xdm
XDM is an open-source specification that provides common structures and definitions (schemas) for data that is brought into Experience Platform. By adhering to XDM standards, all customer experience data can be incorporated into a common representation to deliver insights in a faster, more integrated way. You can gain valuable insights from customer actions, define customer audiences through segments, and use customer attributes for personalization purposes.
For more information, read the XDM overview.
Query Service query-service
Use Query Service to query data in Adobe Experience Platform Data Lake with standard SQL. Join any datasets from the Data Lake and capture query results as a new dataset for use in reporting, Data Science Workspace, or ingestion into Real-Time Customer Profile.
New or updated features
For more information, read the Query Service overview.
Real-Time CDP rtcdp
Real-Time CDP provides unified, actionable customer profiles by ingesting, processing, and activating data across multiple channels in real time. With Real-Time CDP, organizations can connect existing data sources, build and activate rich audiences, and ensure privacy-compliant activation across destinations, all from within Experience Platform. This enables marketers, analysts, and IT teams to deliver highly personalized, timely experiences for their customers through seamless, cross-channel marketing campaigns.
New or updated features
Use the Real-Time CDP MCP to bring Real-Time CDP into AI agents and MCP-compatible clients, enabling you to interact with Real-Time CDP tools directly through your native LLM experience. By connecting an MCP-compatible client (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or VS Code) to the endpoint provided by your Adobe representative, you can use natural language to inspect audiences, destination configuration, and activation run history, without writing Experience Platform REST API calls or navigating multiple UI workflows. After completing a browser-based Adobe sign-in, you will have read-only access to tools including:
- Search Existing Audiences
- Preview Audience Membership
- List Destination Types
- List Configured Accounts
- List Configured Destinations
- List Source Connections
- List Target Connections
- Inspect Activation Runs
. Each request requires imsOrgId and sandboxName parameters to ensure actions are scoped to your organization and sandbox. Note: Write operations are not supported in this Beta release.
For more information, read the Real-Time CDP overview.
Sandboxes sandboxes
Adobe Experience Platform is built to enrich digital experience applications on a global scale. Companies often run multiple digital experience applications in parallel and need to cater to the development, testing, and deployment of these applications while ensuring operational compliance.
New or updated features
For more information, read the sandboxes overview.
Sources sources
Experience Platform provides a RESTful API and an interactive UI that lets you set up source connections for various data providers with ease. These source connections allow you to authenticate and connect to external storage systems and CRM services, set times for ingestion runs, and manage data ingestion throughput.
New or updated sources
You can now apply Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) filters directly in Salesforce source connections, allowing you to restrict row-level data before it is ingested into Experience Platform. Use the capability to:
- Define SOQL where-clause style conditions on Salesforce objects (for example, only leads with Email != null or opportunities in specific stages)
- Limit ingestion to only the rows that meet your criteria, reducing unnecessary data movement, storage, and downstream processing
- Align Experience Platform ingestion more closely with your CRM data access and compliance rules, by controlling which records are brought into Experience Platform at the source
. For more information, read the guide on row-level filtering for sources.
