Before you can export a segment to Journey Builder, you must perform these integration tasks:

- [Set Up Journey Builder for Segment Exports](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_pers_segment_export_marketing_cloud_journey_builder.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To support exporting Personalization segments to Journey Builder, perform setup tasks in Journey Builder for Marketing Cloud Engagement.")
- [Set Up Identity Types for Segment Exports](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_pers_segment_export_identity_type.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You must set up the identity types in the Personalization system to support exporting Personalization segments to Journey Builder.")

The Journey Builder segment listener doesn’t support segments that calculate on a daily basis, such as "Shoppers who didn’t purchase in the last day." The segment must include an action that users complete for membership. If that action occurs before the ETL feed populates the attribute, the Personalization system doesn’t add the segment user to Journey Builder.

For example, consider a segment that includes "attribute: favorite color = blue" and "did action X today." If the feed runs at 3 AM and populates the attribute for a user, when the user completes the action later that day, they join the segment and the Personalization system sends it to Journey Builder. However, if the feed runs at 7 PM and populates the attribute for a user who completed the action earlier that day, the user joins the segment, but the Personalization system doesn’t send it to Journey Builder.

1. From the main navigation, select **User Segments** | **User Segments**.
2. Double-click the segment you want to export.

    The **Segment Sync Setup** dialog that appears.
5. Select your journey entry source from the **Journey API Event** dropdown.
6. Select a Contact Key identifier that contains the appropriate consent information in Marketing Cloud Engagement.
    
    It's recommended that you use the Engagement contact key as this identifier.
7. From the **Email Address** dropdown, select an identifier.
8. Select **Enable**.
9. Click **Save**.
10. In **User Segments**, click **Save** to save any segment changes.

Example

You can create a segment of users who view your product more than three times in a week, then trigger a journey for users that join that segment. Or you can trigger a journey for users that sign up for a webinar.
