Journeys in Code mode

Raquel Updated by Raquel

Code journeys are fun! And very powerful. Make sure you try it out.

The no-code journey builder is intuitive to use, but you may prefer code journeys for a variety of reasons. Let's have a quick look of the power below the surface.

1. Playbooks

We've added some basic code and no-code journeys in Turn so that you can easily get a feeling for how they work. Select one of the training, interact with it in the preview, try and edit something small in the code, or add a card. Voila! You are learning to use code journeys.

Even without understanding any code, you can interact with the phone preview on the right of the Journey page to see what the code is intended to do. Once you've experienced the interaction (see the GIF below), it will be much easier to modify the code in the left block to suit your use case.

Change things like the message text or button copy. Now, save it and interact with your updated Journey. Voila! You are learning to use the code.

2. Where do I find code Journey in Turn?

We're glad you've asked!

  • Log in to Turn and navigate to the Journeys page.
  • Select +New Journey.
  • Select From Scratch and then Coded
  • Select any of the Basic or Advanced Training examples.

3. Turn.io Documentation

Developer documentation for code journeys: https://whatsapp.turn.io/docs/category/build

Start with an overview to understand the custom coding language, the details such as how to use comments, multi-line text, variables etc.

Then move on to explore the available functions, documented with examples to make it easier to understand and use. You can also learn about expressions and how to use them to create engaging impact services.
