How to Create a Journey

Let’s walk through creating your first Journey using Questera’s visual builder:

Step 1: Set the Segment

First, define who should enter the journey.

  • Select Existing Segment

    • Choose a pre-defined segment like “Free Trial Users” or “New Signups”.

  • Create a New Segment

    • Set up a fresh segment based on rules like:

      • “Visited pricing page”

      • “Did not complete payment”

      • “Has purchased more than twice”

Step 2: Set Frequency Rules

Control how often users can enter the journey to avoid spamming:

  • Only once: Ideal for onboarding or feedback flows.

  • Every time conditions are met: Good for recurring behaviors like purchases.

  • Custom frequency: Example – only once per 7 days.

Step 3: Add Actions

Now decide what should happen at each step.

You can trigger communications via:

  • Email

  • Push Notifications

  • SMS

  • WhatsApp

These can be sent using:

  • Questera’s native tools

  • Integrations like Klaviyo, Zapier, Instantly, Mailmodo, and more

For each action, you can:

  • Select a message template or write a new one

  • Add conditions (e.g., send only if the user hasn’t already received an email)

  • Monitor metrics like open rate, click rate, delivery success

Step 4: Add Delays

Delays help your journey feel timely and human:

  • Wait Until: Pause until a specific action is done

  • Time Window: Restrict sending to certain times

Step 5: Add Flows (Branching Logic)

Add smart, branching paths based on conditions to personalize each user’s experience.

Types of flows:

  • True/False Branch:

    • E.g., Did the user open the email? Yes → next step, No → resend or send another channel

  • Cohort Branch:

    • Based on user behavior traits like active users vs dormant ones.

  • Multi-Split Branch:

    • Split users based on specific values.

      • E.g., Subscription type = Free, Trial, Premium → each gets a different message.

Final Step 6 : Review & Publish

Once your journey is complete:

  1. Preview the Flow

  • Check how the flow will work for different users.

  1. Save & Publish

  • Hit Publish to set your journey live.

  • The journey will now trigger automatically when users meet the starting conditions.
