{Do you know} Controlling how fast customers can enter a journeys in dynamics 365 customer insights

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to share my thoughts on controlling how fast customers can enter a journeys in dynamics 365 customer insights.

Let's get's started.

In Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Journeys, a journey rate limiting feature has been introduced to help marketers to help marketers control the flow of customer entering a journey.

This functionality is particularly useful when engaging large audiences, as it prevents overwhelming resources like call centers or websites by spacing out customer entries over time.

Key features of Journey Rate Limiting:

Set Entry Limits: Define the maximum number of customers allowed to enter a journey per hour pr per day. This ensures a steady and manageable flow of participants.

Schedule Entry Days: Specify which days of the week customers can enter the journey, allowing for strategic planning aligned with operational capacities.

How to Configure Rate Limiting:

Navigate to your Journey within the journey designer interface.

Select the Entry Tile:

Click on the entry point of your journey to highlight it.

Adjust Settings:

In the toolbar, select the Settings tab.

Here, you can configure the rate limit by specifying the number of customers permitted to enter per hour or per day.

Choose the days of the week when entries are allowed.

Import Considerations:

Applicability: This feature is currently available only for one-time segment- based journeys. It does not apply to recurring, ongoing segment-based or trigger based journeys.

Entry Behavior: When a rate limit is set, the initial batch of eligible customers enters the journeys upon activation. Subsequent batches enter at the defined intervals(hourly or daily) until all have been included.

Burst Entries: The rate limit controls the number of customers entering per interval but does not distribute them evenly within that period. For example, if 60 customers are allowed per hour, all 60 may simultaneously rather than one per minute.

Quiet Times Impact: If the journey includes quiet periods during which messages are not sent, customers may still enter the journey and have their messages queued. Once the quiet period ends, all queued messages are sent immediately, which can temporarily exceed the configured rate limit.

By utilizing journey rate limiting, organizations can effectively manage customer engagement, ensuring that support services and infrastructure are not overwhelmed by sudden influxes of customer interactions.

That's it for today.

I hope this helps.
