Journey Builder is where you can create and edit a journey.
Building Blocks
Every journey starts with a trigger block. This is what decides who enters the journey and when.
- Timing blocks let you add time in between other blocks based on certain criteria.
- Logic blocks let you send contacts down certain paths depending on the logic you set up. For example, using a conditional match block, you can check if a contact has had a certain event on their profile in the past, and then split which way the contact goes next depending if yes or no.
- Action blocks take action, such as send an sms or create a call task.
The following blocks are currently available.
Connecting Blocks into a Journey
Drag and drop a block from "Building Blocks" drawer on the right onto the canvas.
You can then connect the block to the Trigger block by clicking the "connector" circle from the bottom of the Trigger block and dragging a line to the top of your block. When they are successfully connected your block will highlight in a purple outline. You can then let go and the blocks will be connected. You can continue to string together other blocks.
To remove a connector line, hover over the line between the 2 blocks and a purple X will appear. You can click that to remove the connection.
Blocks that are not connected can remain on the canvas and will have no impact on the journey.

- Stop - To stop a journey. This will cause contacts that are currently in the journey to exit, and turn the journey to draft to prevent new entrances as well. It may take up to 5 minutes to fully stop all in-progress contacts. During that time, you should not turn the journey back to live.
