We have created a separate area to manage and review your journeys that are not

published yet. This is known as the “Planner” - Below shows a summary of the functionality

the planner tool contains as a reminder:

Feature | Table View

We have created a combined planner view to make it easier to review and manage your

journeys without having to navigate across different tabs. With this new structure – you get a

quick snapshot of all the journeys that are planned, what it looks like, who is the owner, what

status it has and if any comments have been made against it.

Feature | Comments Functionality

The comments feature is useful if there are multiple users contributing to your journeys. It

gives the opportunity for users to offer feedback and comments to help improve or offer

changes that need to be updated for your journeys.

The comments icon will show a count of how many comments have been left against a

journey. By selecting on the icon, it will allow you to review the comments or leave your own.

Feature | Quick Actions

From here you can quickly jump into the Journey Builder and make any necessary changes.

You will also be able to Duplicate the Journey, Archive or Delete.

Feature | Quick Actions

With some clients generating journeys / campaigns on the platform that requires additional

confirmation from other users not using the platform – we have created an export

Page 23: Release Date: 16th June 2021

functionality which will export all the journeys details needed to get your journey approved,

this can then be emailed directly to the relevant person for approval.

Feature | Notification Reminders

We have implemented a notification system – where notifications can be generated and sent

to the user if they have been assigned to a journey that is awaiting approval, requires edits,

or that the post is overdue. These allow you to keep the users involved in this process

informed when a task has been assigned to them, allowing you to operate a quick and easy

creation process.

The notification reminder is generated based on the change of a status. For example, if I

change my journey from “Draft” to “Approval Needed” – it will produce a pop up asking if you

would like to send a notification to be sent to the assigned owner.

This will send an email notification to the user advising that there is a journey awaiting their

approval. It will also attach a csv copy of the journey they have been assigned too.

// Note that the new campaign planner page also contains the same functionality.

Page 24: Release Date: 16th June 2021

2. Journeys > Updated Journey Published View

This section covers your “Published” view of journeys – this allows you to get a summary of

all your active journeys and how they are performing. We also offer two different views,

depending on which works best for you – List View vs Tab view.

From here you can switch on the filter options – it will default to the last 30 days and those

that are currently active – but this can be changed at any time to view older and stopped

journeys.

The functionality will remain the same, so from here you can edit your journey, view more

detailed results, delete / archive or duplicate your journey.

// Note that the new campaign published page also contains the same functionality.
