Customer Journey statuses enable you to automate and track leads throughout their journeys towards becoming customers. You can configure the criteria for two of the customer journey statuses (the rest are automatically applied). You can also determine whether to sync company and contact statuses.

This article covers:

• opening the customer journey settings
• syncing contact and company status
• configuring journey statuses

Opening the Customer Journey Page

1. Click your profile image in the top-right corner of your Upsales screen, and click Settings:
   
2. From the left-hand menu, click Account>Business Rules.
3. Select Journey.
   

Syncing contact and company status

You can choose whether to have a contact's journey status apply to the contact's entire company.

• Sync on... when a contact is representing the entire company. When you close a deal and the contact's status becomes Customer, the company and every contact at that company becomes a customer.

• Sync off... when a contact isn't representing the entire company. They may be representing one department where you have closed a deal. However, there may be other departments that you haven't closed a deal with. 

Configuring the Marketing Qualified Lead or Lost Customer Status

Note: Accounts using the Marketing Automation add-on can only set one criteria rule for each configurable status. With an additional add-on, you can enable multiple rules for their MQL. Contact Upsales to find out more.
