◾Activities of Flows

"Activities" are the building blocks of the flow that defines your campaign's logic.

Flow builder of the campaign with list of activities in the left bar

All activities are split into the 5 main categories:

• Communication - contains activities that are responsible for sending communication to the end users through different channels

• Actions - mainly tech and support personal-oriented actions

• Loyalty & Gamification - activities related to the gamification: points, missions, levels, mini-games, bonuses, etc.

• Flow control - activities that help to tune the logic of the flow. Like a delay or to stop a campaign.

• User profile - logic that works with the user profile.

You can find a detailed explanation of the activities below, including information if they are available in the Campaigns Flows, Automation rules, and Gamification context (store, missions, mini-games)

Note: some activities that are discussed here may be missing in your setup, please get in touch with your Customer Success Manager to activate them.
