Publishing a Journey

About this task

Publishing a Journey starts the execution of a Journey. Journey execution does not have options like test run or production run. Publishing a Journey directly executes the production run.

For more information, see Assigning permissions to Journey Roles.

To test a Journey, assign the Entry Source, containing the sample data, to the Journey and publish the Journey. This helps you to run the sample audience, or test audience, from the Journey and validate your Journey design. Once you verify the Journey with the sample data, pause the Journey and change the Entry Source to point to the production Entry Source. After this, you can republish the Journey with production data.
