Understand why you can't change the trigger once the journey is saved to draft

The trigger that you have selected plays a crucial role in configuring various aspects of your journey, such as the available action blocks in your journey, the mapping of personalization parameters, and other various journey settings.

Once you complete the trigger selection and configuration step, other blocks in the journey are generated based on your chosen trigger type, encompassing all relevant settings. Modifying the trigger type post this stage is restricted because it is likely to disrupt subsequent settings and workflow actions specific to the chosen trigger.

If you wish to change triggers, you can duplicate the existing draft or running journey and choose the necessary trigger.

In our example, let's select the trigger "Contact added to a list" as the trigger for this journey.

Building and editing the journey

Step by Step guide to Create and publish your first journey

Journey Builder is where you can create automated workflows that will help you send campaigns or updates automatically to anyone who enters the journey. You can build these automated workflows using a set of components present in the builder. These components form individual steps of a journey. 

Every journey begins by selecting how you want to trigger or start the journey. Trigger block does just that. There are various types of triggers such as when someone performs any event on your website or shopify store and so on. You can select any trigger based on your use case. 

Action blocks help you determine what action you want to take for the contact who enters the journey, for example, sending an email automatically changing the contact's information, and so on. 

Here are the action blocks available in the journey builder:

The delay blocks will help you to pause the journey at certain points for a certain time period or at a specific time and so on.

Here are the delay blocks available in the journey builder:

You can add the condition blocks after adding a block that will send a campaign to the contacts in the journey and further split the journey further based on campaign activity i.e. where the contact has submitted a form or clicked on an email and so on. 

Here are the condition blocks in the journey builder:

 This feature allows you to send cart abandonment emails, post-purchase emails (reorder, recommendation, feedback, etc), or update profile information, etc., as often as the contact qualifies the criteria set in a journey.
