Journey exit reasons
When you create a journey, by default people will exit the journey when they reach the end of the path or when they don’t move for 30 days.
There are additional reasons a person may exit a journey, depending on the journey configuration, the actions of a person within the journey, or something related to the person’s CDP record.
The journey exit reasons are described in the table below.
