Overview

This article will help you understand, create and leverage Account Journeys in CustomerSuccessBox.

Who’s this for?

If you are responsible for setting up CustomerSuccessBox (and specifically in charge of setting up Segments and Journeys, you are at the right place. This article will help you with creating automated journeys for Accounts belonging to a specific Segment. 

Introduction

Account Journeys in CustomerSuccessBox will facilitate automated journeys for Accounts as they enter an Account segment in order to:

1. Assign accounts automatically to CSMs
2. Send appropriate educational, best practices and how-to emails to users of an Account which hasn't used a key feature in a while
3. Create a renewal workflow for accounts coming up for renewals
4. Human intervention for an account not on track

and many more

How do I Configure Account Journeys? 

There are 5 steps to configuring an Account Journey. They are: 

Step 1: Define Entry Criteria

Using enrollment rule for a journey, new Accounts and/or existing Accounts belonging to the Account segment(s) can be enrolled to the Account journey by defining:

• Account segment(s) to track
• Re-enrollment rule for Accounts
• Enrollment rule for existing Accounts

Step 2: Define what Action(s) should be taken 

Configuring Action(s) defines the set of activities that need to be performed on eligible Accounts in the Journey. Multiple levels of decision paths can be configured based on conditional checks (IF-ELSE statements). The set of Actions that can be executed are

• Send Email
• Human Intervention Task (HIT)
• Assign CustomerSuccessManager
• Assign Playbook
• Set Account Attribute
• Copy Attribute
• Clear Attribute
• Increase Account Attribute

Step 3: Define Goals once the Account Journey is initiated

Goals let you define the positive behaviour that is ideally desired by enlisting an Account in a journey. 

As soon as a rule defined for the Goal is met, all matching Accounts are tagged as 'Goal Achieved' immediately.

Depending on value of 'Exit' criteria for Goal in 'Exit' tab, CustomerSuccessBox will either:

• Check for Goal match, mark a matching Account as 'Goal Achieved', and proceed with the next set of actions for the Account.
• Check for Goal match, mark an Account as 'Goal Achieved', and exit Journey immediately.

Step 4: Define Exit criteria

Exit criteria for a journey lets you:

• Define what to do if Goal is met for an enrolled Account. Any Account matching the defined goal for the journey will be tagged as 'Goal Achieved'. On meeting journey Goal, the Account will continue in the journey or immediately exit from the journey depending on your selection for this setting 
• Define a rule for unenrolling a newly enrolled Account from other journeys (if active in specified journeys). This is a one-time check done on enrollment of a new Account into a Journey
•  Define blacklist rules for unenrolling enrolled Accounts from the current Journey. All matching Accounts are exited and tagged as 'Unenrolled' immediately as soon as any exit criteria(s) is met.

Step 5: Enable Account Journey

Once you have configured the Journey completely, you can Enable it from Journeys page to set it live.

Similarly, once a journey is redundant and needs to be replaced with a new journey or simply switched off, you can Disable it from Journeys page.
