    Hello,

    could you please tell me how customer journeys can be set up with target account?
    Do you create segment or subscription list with accounts then? and do all contacts of account then get e.g. @ campaign included in the CJ?
    Thanks for further clarifying that.

    KR,

    Charlotte

      Hi,

      Recommend to generate the Segment with target account based filters so that it keep adding all new accounts with same segment criteria, segment is more recommended as it allows to query the data using related entities as well

      Hi,

      In such case you should create Segment on contact entity with applying filter on Account entity by using related table drop down

      Hope this helps
