Build a marketing journey
Send emails and WhatsApp or SMS templates over time, branch on engagement and stop when the contact reaches the goal — only to contacts who opted in.
For: Marketing and sales managersSteps
- Go to MetriReach → Journeys and select New journey. Give it a name and, if you like, the campaign it belongs to.
- Select the entry step and choose when contacts enter: a form is submitted, they join a segment, a CRM event happens, or a date on the contact comes (for example a renewal date). Choose whether they may enter again and add exit criteria if needed.
- Add steps with Add step: Marketing email (a template from the library, sent in the contact's language), WhatsApp template (approved templates only), SMS template, Wait, Wait until a date, Branch on engagement (opened, clicked, replied, visited a page, submitted a form), Condition, internal steps (add tag, update field, create task, notify the owner), Goal and Exit. Connect each step's paths in the panel on the right.
- Select Send a test to me: every message goes to your own email (and WhatsApp or SMS to the number you enter), waits are skipped and nothing counts in the analytics.
- Select Publish. New contacts enter on this version; contacts already in the journey finish on the version they started. Pause the journey to stop new entries.
- Open the Analytics tab to see, per step, how many contacts entered, were sent a message, opened, clicked, converted, exited or were skipped because they had not opted in.
Good to know
- A message is never sent to a contact who did not opt in on that channel: the step is skipped and logged, and the journey continues.
- Frequency caps and quiet hours (Malaysia time by default) apply to every journey: select Caps and quiet hours on the Journeys page.
- A goal counts wherever the contact is in the journey: if they book a meeting during a wait, they convert and leave at once.
- Only people can publish, pause or test a journey; AI agents never do.
