Optimize Your Marketing Automation with A/B Split in Relays and Journey Designer

Problem Statement

From welcome and onboarding to win-back campaigns, marketing automation flows help you identify different steps in a user’s journey and set corresponding actions. But since it’s difficult to predict exact user behaviour, how would one identify if Version A or Version B of the same campaign drives more opens, and therefore more conversions?

This is why A/B test is a useful feature.

Extending this to Journey Designer and Relays, our new feature- Split lets you divide users into multiple branches to find out the best-performing branch and optimize your campaigns to drive maximum conversions.

How to Use A/B Split in Journey Designer & Relays?

Using A/B split in Relays and Journey Designer is simple. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Select the Split block from Flow Controls and connect to your pervious block.

Step 2: Click on the block and configure branches with corresponding distribution percentage and click save.

Step 3: Based on the distribution, add your desired action or condition blocks.

Step 4: Finish setting up the rest of the flow and activate.

Some Use Cases to Implement A/B Split

Here are a few examples of the different scenarios you can implement with A/B split in Journey Designer and Relays:
