Getting started with Journey elements

Customer journeys in Pushwoosh are built using modular journey elements. These represent entry points, communication channels, and flow controls that define how users move through your journey.

The left panel groups elements into sections: Entry, Channels, Flow, and Integrations. Click a section’s header to collapse or expand it. This browser remembers which sections you left collapsed the next time you open a journey.

Journey elements

Journey elements are grouped into four categories, based on the role they play in a journey.

Entry elements control when and how users enter a journey: on a trigger event, for a predefined audience, or through an API call from an external system.

Channel elements send the actual message to a user, such as push, email, SMS, WhatsApp, and other messaging channels, plus related options like issuing a wallet pass or running a multi-armed bandit test.

Flow elements decide what happens next in a journey: they branch users by segment or tag, test message variants, pause the journey for a set delay, or update a user’s profile.

Integrations
