Start from a template

Open Journeys and choose a template from your pack, or start blank. The canvas opens already tidy. Drag tiles to change the path: trigger, wait, split, send, goal.

Press Validate

Validate checks the whole path and lists every problem, highlighting the failing tile. Common problems are a missing goal, a branch that ends nowhere or a template that has not been approved.

A journey with problems cannot go live.

Test and go live

Run a read-only test with a sample contact. When it looks right, press Go live. The canvas then shows how many people are at each step.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit a live journey?

You can pause it and edit. Changes apply to people who enter after you resume.

What does a goal do?

It ends the journey for anyone who reaches it, so nobody is messaged after they convert.

Can I use more than one channel?

Yes. Any step can send on any connected channel.
