An automated customer journey is incomplete if it defines how someone enters but never defines how they leave.
Technology brief: context and implications
An automated customer journey is incomplete if it defines how someone enters but never defines how they leave. Completed purchases, withdrawn permission and resolved enquiries should all prompt a review of the next action. Otherwise a technically functioning sequence can still produce an unhelpful experience.
What to check in practice
Workflow tools organize triggers and actions, but a business still needs to decide which situations deserve a message. Our analysis is that exit criteria belong in the original campaign brief, alongside audience and objective. Test a successful completion, an opt-out and a duplicate submission before enabling the sequence for a wider audience.
