2 min. readlast update: 03.14.2025

Journeys, also referred to as automations or drip campaigns, enable the creation of simple or complex automated workflows that are targetted to specific segments. These workflows can be used to engage, retain, or reactivate players based on their behaviour.

Limiting participation in Segment Triggered Journeys

To prevent excessive player engagement in a Journey, participation can be controlled using two key limitations:

  1. Time-Based Participation Limit – Restricts repeated participation within a specified number of days.
  2. Total Participation Limit – Caps the maximum number of times a player can enter the journey.

These settings ensure that players do not repeatedly trigger the same automation too frequently, maintaining a balanced engagement strategy.

 

Configuring Participation Limits

  • Limit Repeated Participation: Defines the minimum number of days that must pass before a player can participate again.
  • Limit Participation: Specifies the maximum number of times a player can enter the journey in total.

 

Example Configuration:

  • If Limit Repeated Participation is set to 30 days, and
  • Limit Participation is set to 3 times,
  • The player will be eligible to enter the journey once per month, up to a total of 3 times (i.e., for 3 months).

 

By following these steps, brands can create intelligent, automated engagement journeys that:


✅ Create highly targetted journeys.
✅ Increase retention through personalised notifications and rewards.
✅ Optimise reactivation strategies by adapting based on player behaviour.

 

This approach ensures highly personalised interactions, improving the overall customer experience and lifetime value.
