Important
Important In an upcoming release, Contact Data Events aren’t supported. Events and journeys created before this change continues to run without interruption. Use Audiences to admit contacts instead. Learn More.

After setting up your journey, return to your automation to run it. If you’re using a Triggered Automation, this process works only when a new file has been dropped in the specified file location.

  1. To start the Fire Event activity, prompting Journey Builder to evaluate contacts for entry, click Run Once. After the automation runs the first time, only new contact records are admitted on subsequent runs, depending on Journey Settings.
  2. Click Run Once again to fire an event each time new data is added to the data extension.
