Journey Editor

Prev Next

The Journey Editor is where you review and refine the member journeys generated from your Concept Whiteboard.

Each journey represents how your loyalty program responds when members perform specific actions, meet certain conditions, or interact with rewards, tiers, or benefits.

The editor allows you to zoom into the logic behind each journey and adjust the steps that define how your program behaves.

Opening the Journey Editor

After generating the member journeys, you can open any journey from multiple locations:

From the Loyalty Map

  • Click any station on the Loyalty Map that contains journeys.

  • In the pop-up list, click the arrow ( > ) next to a journey to open it in the editor.

From the Journey List

  • Find the journey in the Journey List table.

  • Click the arrow ( > ) to open it.

If you update your Concept Whiteboard later and those changes affect program logic, an Update member journeys button will appear. Regenerating ensures the Journey Editor always reflects the latest version of your concept.

Journey Canvas

When you open a journey, it appears in a simplified vertical canvas made up of moments and steps.

  • Moments group together the steps that belong to the same phase of the journey.
    Moments themselves cannot be edited. If a journey is missing a phase you need, update your Concept Whiteboard and regenerate the journeys.

  • Steps appear in a vertical sequence inside each moment. Each step sits in a swimlane indicating who performs or owns the action:

    • Member Action (something the member does)

    • Communications (messages or notifications sent to the member)

    • Loyalty System (automated loyalty logic)

    • Processes (internal or operational follow-up steps the loyalty management team performs)

Between steps, you’ll see a + icon, which lets you insert a custom step anywhere in the flow.
Default steps (those generated automatically from your Concept Whiteboard) always follow the order defined during journey generation and cannot be rearranged manually.

To change a step, open the … menu on the step and select Edit to open its configuration in the sidebar.

Editing a Journey Step

When you select Edit from a step’s … menu, the Step Sidebar opens. This sidebar contains all configuration options for the selected step.

Inside the Step Sidebar, you can update the following:

Step name and description

Edit the name of the step and provide a clear description of what happens at this point in the journey. This helps define the purpose, behaviour, or meaning of the step for anyone reviewing or implementing the journey.

Business requirements

Under Requirements, describe what the step should accomplish from a loyalty or customer-experience perspective. Requirements cover the business logic behind the action, such as:

  • what information needs to be collected,

  • what the program should check or validate,

  • what outcome should the member receive.

These fields vary by step type and help clarify the expected behaviour of the journey.

Technology

This section lists technical considerations that may be needed later when implementing the loyalty program (e.g., implementing an integration or an API call). Items appear as a to-do checklist, and you can mark any requirement as completed by ticking its checkbox.

Documents

Each step has its own Documents section, where you can:

  • upload supporting files

  • download any file

  • delete files

Supported file types include: PDF, Word, Excel, PPT, images, text, and other common formats, up to 10 MB each.

Files uploaded here remain attached to this step only and do not appear on the Plan Overview.

Comments

Each step has its own comment thread for discussion and clarification.. Click the comment icon at the top of the sidebar to open the comment panel.

You can add comments and reply to comments. Comments stay attached to the specific step.

Comments will serve as the collaboration channel once collaborator access becomes available (coming soon).

Saving changes

Only changes to fields inside the sidebar (step name, description, business requirements, technology checklist) require you to click Save at the bottom.

Uploading documents or adding comments does not require saving.

Adding a custom step

Custom steps let you extend a journey with communications or internal processes that are not part of the auto-generated logic. These steps don’t change the underlying program rules but help you document how the journey actually operates in practice.

You can add custom steps between existing steps by clicking the + icon.

A sidebar appears where you provide:

  • Step name

  • Step swimlane (communication to the member or internal process the team performs)

  • Step description

Saving the sidebar inserts the new step into the canvas at the selected position.

Custom steps behave like any other step in the editor, you can edit or delete them at any time.

Deleting steps

Both custom and default steps can be removed from a journey by clicking Delete. There is no undo for step deletion, however, they can be restored by regenerating all journeys from your Concept Whiteboard.

Saving Journey Changes

Changes made and saved inside the Step Sidebar (such as updates to descriptions, requirements, adding new steps) are not applied to the journey automatically.

Click Save at the top right of the Journey Editor to apply changes.

In cases where the same step appears in multiple journeys, you can streamline your work by applying selected fields from the current step to the same step in other journeys.

This allows you to:

  • copy specific fields or values from the open step,

  • apply them to the same step across multiple selected journeys,

  • avoid repeating the same manual edits journey by journey.

This feature helps keep similar journeys consistent without editing each one individually.
