Opt for an event-triggered journey in situations like these:
2323

2424
- When campaigns require real-time action in response to user behavior.
2525
- For transactional messages (like receipts and confirmations) that require specific event-based triggers.
2626
- In abandonment campaigns where a follow-up is needed if a corresponding completion event doesn’t occur.

- It creates a separate journey instance for each unique identifier value, allowing multiple instances to run in parallel for the same user.
6161
- It ensures that any follow-up events link back to the right journey instance, preserving context for tracking and personalization.

For example, in an abandonment journey, suppose a user starts two applications (like `application_started`), each with a different `application_id`. By setting `application_id` as the unique identifier, Segment can match follow-up events (like `application_completed`) to the correct application journey. This way, each journey instance only receives the completion event for its specific application.

Event-triggered Journeys lets you send journey data to supported destinations, facilitating real-time, personalized messaging. Event-triggered Journeys supports the [Braze Actions](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-braze-cloud/), [Customer.io Actions](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-customerio/), and [Iterable Actions](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-iterable/) destinations.

For other destinations, you can use [Destination Functions](/docs/connections/functions/destination-functions/) to run additional logic, like enriching with [Profile API traits](/docs/unify/profile-api/) or filtering the payload.

8686

8787
- **Entry event requirements**: The entry event you use must already exist in your Segment workspace for it to appear as a selection in journey setup. Make sure that you've already created the event before setting up your journey.
8888
- **Event property filters**: You can filter event properties using the `equals` or `equals any of` operators. When you apply multiple conditions, filters operate with `AND` logic, meaning all conditions must be true for the event to trigger entry into the journey.
8989
- **Audience filtering**: You can only use active, pre-existing audience records as filters. For more complex filtering, like specific profile traits or multiple audiences, first [create the audience](/docs/engage/audiences/#building-an-audience) in **Engage > Audiences**, then apply it as a filter once it’s live.
90-
- **Destination options**: While Event-triggered Journeys support several [actions-based destinations](/docs/connections/destinations/actions/) (like Braze, Customer.io, and Iterable) you can only add one destination for each journey instance. For other destinations, use a Destination Function to apply custom logic to the payload.
91-
- **Event payload structure**: Each payloadd sent to a destination includes a unique key to identify the specific send step within the journey, rather than the journey instance itself. You can also set a custom event name to make it easier to identify the specific event instance you want to track in your destination.

- **Editing and versioning**: After you publish an event-triggered journey, you won't be able to edit it. To modify a journey, create a new journey.

- **Real-time delivery**: Event-triggered Journeys aim for an expected delivery time of under 5 minutes from the moment an event is performed to when the payload reaches the destination, assuming there is no delay step in the journey. However, external factors outside of Segment's control may occasionally introduce latency.

### Real-time event forwarding

Suppose you want to instantly send a personalized message whenever a user completes a specific action on your site, like filling out a form or subscribing to a service. With Event-triggered Journeys, you can configure the journey to trigger each time this entry event occurs. Segment will forward the event data, including all relevant details, to your connected destination in real-time.

106106

107107
Start by setting the `checkout_started` event as the trigger and specify a unique identifier like `session_id` to track each user’s journey instance. Then, configure the journey to check for the `purchase_completed` event within a defined window (for example, 1 hour). If the user doesn’t complete the purchase, the journey can automatically send a nudge to encourage them to finish their order.

113113
To do this, set the entry event to `content_downloaded` or `video_watched` and configure the journey to send a follow-up email. You could even personalize the email with details from the triggering event, like the content title or timestamp, by configuring your destination payload to enrich the message with event-specific context.
