# 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.
## Working with Journey elements
###### Adding elements to a journey
To add an element to your journey, either drag it from the left panel to the canvas, or click **Connect this** on an existing element and choose the next step from the list.
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.
###### Deleting an element
To **delete** an element, click it once and press the **Bin icon** on the top.
###### Editing an element
To **edit** an element, click it twice and fill in the fields of the pop-up window that appeared.
## Journey elements
Journey elements are grouped into four categories, based on the role they play in a journey.
### Entry
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.
### Channels
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
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
Integration elements sync journey data with third-party CRM, analytics, and data warehouse tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, and BigQuery.
