Individuals can launch a journey only if they have edit access to folders with journeys and journeys set up as jump destinations in the current journey's Exit criteria, Goal, and Jump events. ## How are profiles counted in drag-on rules for batch journeys that have versions? If you reference profiles within a batch journey (or batch journey stage) with versions, all launched versions' profiles are combined. For example, if Journey A has three versions with 100 profiles in each version, 300 profiles will be referenced in the drag-on rule. ## What are the main differences between batch and real-time journeys? Batch journeys rely on the daily running of parent segments. Real-time journeys can send a triggered activation within minutes. Learn more about [Creating a Real-time Triggered Activation](/products/customer-data-platform/journey-orchestration/realtime/creating-a-real-time-triggered-activation). ## Can I get access to real-time journeys if I have batch journeys? Real-time journeys require a separate contract from batch journeys. ## Is there a maximum number of batch journey events? Yes. You can a maximum of 120 events to a journey. This feature is in Beta. ## Is there a maximum number of batch journey stages? Each journey can have a maximum of 8 stages. Each journey can have a maximum of 120 events. Within that journey, each stage can have a maximum of 70 events. This feature is in Beta. ## Is there a maximum number of batch journey activations? When creating a journey with 120 events, limit your activations to less than 50 for better performance. ## Can I edit a launched batch journey? Yes. If you [create a journey version](/products/customer-data-platform/journey-orchestration/batch/creating-a-batch-journey-version), you can edit many journey elements. ## Do I have to create entry criteria for each stage? Only for the first stage. All stages that follow the first stage have entry criteria based on the milestone of the previous stage and/or exit criteria of other stages. ## What options are available for exit criteria on a batch journey? There are two options: * Stale Profile: Enter the number of days it takes for profiles to become stale after staying in a journey stage. * Custom Exit Criteria: Create a rule through the Segment Editor, for example, an opt-out profile. ## What happens when a profile qualifies for more than one journey stage? The profile belongs to the lowest stage in the journey. For example, if the profile qualifies for both Awareness and Interest, the profile belongs in Interest. ## What happens when a profile qualifies for another stage's milestone or goal? If the other stage's goal or milestone is fulfilled, the profile will directly skip and go to the stage that fulfilled the condition. ## Can a profile rejoin a batch journey again after the profile has exited the journey? Yes. A profile can return to a journey after it has exited. ## Can a profile go back to the previous stage in a batch journey? No. Profiles can move forward to the next stage; however, they can’t return to a previous stage. ## Do segments support using batch journeys? For example, you want to deliver an ad hoc marketing campaign to: * Profiles who are not in stage X in a journey OR * Send an email to profiles who are not associated with a journey Yes. Treasure Data segments can add an existing journey by including the journey in a segment rule. They can extract already included/excluded profiles in a specific journey using it. Journeys included in segments must be live. ## How do permissions affect batch journeys? * Full Control Folder Permission: A user can create, modify, or delete any Journeys in selected folders or child folders. Additionally, a user can get a list of profiles as well as customers' endpoints. * View Folder Permission: A user can view Journeys in selected folders or child folders. ## Why does my activation export 0 profiles? Typically, it's due to an activation scheduling issue. Set the activation schedule after the parent segment and journey workflow runs. Otherwise, the activation runs a different schedule, which results in profiles not being recognized correctly. ## Are there dependencies between journey workflows and journey activation workflows? When [creating a batch journey activation](/products/customer-data-platform/journey-orchestration/batch/creating-a-batch-journey-activation), you can automatically set the activation to run after the parent segment and journey workflow refreshes have been completed. ## How does pausing a journey in a priority group affect capping? Let's assume multiple priority groups contain multiple journeys. The capping is 2. On Day 1, regardless of how many profiles qualify for a journey, with a cap of 2, the qualifying profiles only enter the first two prioritized journeys (Journey A and Journey B). On Day 2, Journey B is paused; the qualifying profiles enter Journey A and C because the cap is still 2, but Journey B is no longer available in the priority group. ## What actions can I take if a parent segment or an activation workflow associated with a batch journey fails? You need to pay attention to the session times of workflows. The correct sequence for workflows is as follows: Parent segment workflow > batch journey workflow > batch journey activations workflow. You can select Because batch journeys run daily, you need to evaluate the parent segment schedule and adjust the schedules of batch journey and activation workflows accordingly. For more information about workflows, see [Journey Workflow Dependencies](/products/customer-data-platform/journey-orchestration/batch/journey-workflow-dependencies). ### Recover data for failed parent segment or journey workflow failures You can recover data using the following TD CLI code. ```bash # Rerun the audience workflow (journey workflows are triggered automatically afterward) # td workflow start cdp_audience_{:audienceId} audience --session daily # Rerun the activation workflow $ td workflow start cdp_journey_{:journeyId} syndication_{:activationId} --session daily ``` In the previous example, "session daily" is used. You can change the session time. **Available session times** ```bash --session set session_time to this time (required) ```
