# Configure a Wait Until Push Event Activity

Orchestrate a journey and react in real time based on whether the contact opens a push notification within a certain period. If the engagement doesn’t occur within the predefined time, you can send the contact on an alternate path.

1. Create a push notification in Journey Builder, or configure an existing Content Builder push notification.
2. Drag the **Wait Until Push Event** activity onto the journey canvas immediately after your configured Push Notification activity.
3. Click the **Wait Until Push Event** activity.
4. Click **Edit** in the Maximum Wait Duration tab.
5. Select your duration.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_journeys_and_automations-264-0-0-production-enus/e08cdd71-c1c1-4ae5-a5e9-8a6dad583ad4/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note Select a wait duration of up to 7 days or 168 hours. If the engagement event doesn't occur within this period, the contact follows the No Event path.
6. To review your configuration, click **Summary**.
7. Click **Done**.
8. Configure the rest of your journey, and then click **Activate**.

When a journey version containing a Wait Until Event activity is in Finishing status, events are ignored. Contacts are held in the Wait Until Event activity and exit at the configured Maximum Wait Duration time.
