Choose a Contact Entry Mode

Journey Builder observes Contact Entry mode at the journey level, and it persists for each version of a journey in Marketing Cloud Engagement. Contact entry mode dictates when a contact is eligible to enter a journey. Journey Builder offers three entry options to define when contacts can enter a journey.

  • No re-entry: Contact enters journey one time. Even if the contact completes a journey, the contact isn’t entered again.
  • Re-entry at any time: Contact can enter the journey multiple times, even if they’re already in the journey. There’s no maximum number of instances of the contact in a journey.
  • Re-entry only after exiting: Contact can enter the journey only if they’re not currently in the journey. There’s a maximum of one instance of the contact in a journey.
