Journeys are the basic building block for messaging automation in Dittofeed. You use them to configure who gets messaged when and with what.

Overview

At a minimum journeys contain an entry node, and an exit node. By itself, this journey does nothing. That’s where a message node comes in. There are other journey nodes which are available, and we’re adding more all of the time!

​

Journey Nodes

• Entry Node: Define who is allowed to enter a Journey.
• Message Node: Used to message users.
• Wait For Node: Wait for a user to enter a segment.
• Delay Node: Wait for some fixed amount of time to progress.
• Exit Node: Used to mark a user’s exit from a journey.
• Segment Split Node: Condition messages depending on whether they’re in a segment.

​

Journey Status

Journeys can have one of the three following statuses “Not Started” → “Running” ↔ “Paused”. Journeys begin as “Not Started”, and can be started so that they’re “Running”, at which point they can be “Paused” and unpaused. Not Started Users cannot enter a journey until it is Running. Running Users who satisfy the entry node’s segment can enter the journey. Paused Additional users cannot enter a Paused journey. Useres already in the journey will progress through it as normal, up until the user would receive a message. At this point, if the journey has not been unpaused the message will be skipped and the user will prematurely exit the journey.
