# Creating a Journey

## Creating a Journey

A Journey is a series of steps and actions over time. Members can be enrolled in Journeys, and then receive emails, text messages, and phone calls on a schedule, with your team kept in the loop. This tutorial shows you how to build a wellness follow-up Journey.

## Create the Journey

Open Journeys in the sidebar, and click Create Journey. Name it Wellness follow-up, choose Journey V2, and create it. Name the first step Welcome.

## Add the welcome actions

On Welcome, add a Send SMS action with your welcome message, then a Send Email. Name and save each.

## Wait, then check in

Add a step after Welcome named Week 1 Check-in, and set it to wait seven days. Then add the automated check, and send it as an SMS that starts the Wellness Check Workflow.

## A path for your team

Add a sibling step for follow-up a person should handle. One path is the automated check; the other notifies a colleague to call. Each member takes one path after the week wait.

## Review, then activate

The Journey stays a draft while you review it. Activate it when you are ready to start enrolling members.
