Edit a Customer Journey Map
by Intuit• Updated 2 months ago
After you activate a Customer Journey map, you can continue to edit your journey settings, rules, and actions. Pause your map to edit your rules and actions, change your starting points, remove journey points, and more.
In this article, you'll learn how to pause and edit a Customer Journey map, and how to edit journey settings.
Before you start
Here are some things to know before you begin this process.
- To manually add contacts to your journey map, the journey must be active.
- To learn more about Customer Journeys, how they work, and what you can do with your plan, check out About Customer Journeys.
Edit journey settings
Access your journey settings to change the Customer Journey name or marketing objective, manually add or remove contacts from the journey, or choose whether contacts can repeat the journey after they complete it.
Here are the editable journey settings and what they mean.
- Name
The name of your Customer Journey map. This is for internal use only, so contacts won’t see it. - Marketing objective
What you want to accomplish with your Customer Journey. Set your marketing objective to help Mailchimp provide more personalized recommendations and reporting. You can edit this setting in draft or paused journeys only. - Track clicks
If you have Google Analytics connected to your Mailchimp account, you can enable or disable link tracking for all email actions within the journey. - Contact repeats journey
Allows contacts to repeat a journey multiple times. After a contact exits a journey, we’ll block them from re-starting it for 5 minutes. This is designed to help prevent abuse. - Manually add contacts
Manually add contacts to the journey who haven’t been added through a starting point, or who were previously removed. You can edit this setting in active journeys only. - Manually remove contacts
Manually remove contacts from the journey, or prevent them from starting the journey in the first place.

Move a contact to another path
The Move a contact feature merges the journey map after an If/Else or 50/50 split. You can move a contact from the end of any path to a different path in the journey as long as it won’t create an infinite loop. A journey must have at least one step under a branch before the drop-down appears.
