Multi Criteria Decision (DecisionSplit) Format

The multi-criteria decision activity, also called the decision split activity, decides which branch a contact follows in a workflow based on contact attribute values at runtime. This activity type cannot be used in a custom activity.

Journey Specification Format

The activity must be formatted as specified below. The following JSON object is included in the activities array of a journey, as defined in the Journey Specification.

Helpful Hints

• The outcome of this decision affects goal statistics.
• The schemaVersionId comes from the GET /schema resource.
• Use entry data or activity output data as configurationArguments in an outcome branch.
• Use the schema object on a custom activity to make activity output data visible to downstream activities.
