Create a custom journey

Journeys come with a series of prebuilt journeys from the pros at Attentive to boost conversion rates and engagement. But if you’re already a pro and know exactly what you want your journey to do, then you can build a custom journey from the ground up. 

Don't see the trigger you want? You can build your own custom journey triggers using our Custom Events API.
