In this article, we will give you an introduction on how to navigate within Journey Builder. The purpose of Journey Builder is to allow you to communicate more efficiently with fewer send-outs. When setting up a Journey, you will be able to build multiple flows, called "lanes", with both email and SMS send-outs. If a subscriber or customer matches with multiple segments in your Journey, for example if you have set up communication about "News", "Back-in-stock", and an "Offer", this will be sent as one long email to the subscriber/customer instead of three separate send-outs. We also recommend that you read our Journey Builder - Getting Started guide before you begin.
