Journey Builder
The Journey Builder is Gryffi's visual editor for creating interactive journeys. It uses a node-based canvas where you can add steps, connect them with paths, and create branching experiences.
Overview
The Journey Builder provides a drag-and-drop interface for designing journeys. Each journey consists of:
- Steps: Individual content blocks (spaces, guides, challenges, etc.)
- Paths: Connections between steps that define the flow
- Journey Settings: Journey-wide configuration options
- Step Settings: Every step has its own settings. Click on a step to edit the settings of the step. Open in Gryffi:
/dashboard/journeys
The Canvas
The main canvas area shows all steps in your journey as cards. You can:
- Pan: Click and drag on empty space to move around
- Zoom: Use scroll wheel or zoom controls
- Select: Click on a step to select it and view properties
- Drag: Move steps to organize your layout
- Connect: Draw paths between steps using connection ports
Step Types
Add steps using the toolbar buttons. Available step types:
| Step Type | Icon | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Space | 🏠 | Location or scene with image/panorama |
| Guide | 🤖 | AI-powered conversational assistant |
| Content | 📄 | Text, video, or rich content |
| Challenge | ❓ | Quiz with multiple choice questions |
| Form | 📝 | Data collection form |
| Poll | 📊 | Single-question survey |
| Reward | 🎁 | Coupon or reward code |
Properties Panel
When you select a step, the Properties Panel appears on the right side. It contains:
Basic Tab
- Step title and description
- Type-specific settings (varies by step type)
- Preview of how the step will look
Advanced Tab
- Step pacing (immediate, delayed, scheduled)
- Step assistant (mini AI helper)
Toolbar Actions
The toolbar at the top provides:
- Add Step Buttons: Quick access to create each step type
- Journey Settings: Configure title, description, flow
- Preview: Test your journey before publishing
- Undo/Redo: Revert or restore changes
- Save: Don't forget to save your work
Creating Connections
To connect steps:
- The connection ports are the four dots on every side of the step box
- Click and drag from an output port
- Release on another step's input port
- The path is created automatically in that direction
Saving
Changes are saved automatically. You'll see a "Saving..." indicator when changes are being persisted, and "Saved" when complete.
Starting From a Template
If you don't want to begin with a completely empty canvas, the Journey Wizard can generate a starting point for you. When you click Create journey on the Journeys page, you get a choice between:
- Start with the Wizard — a short questionnaire that produces a draft journey with steps, paths, texts and optionally an AI Guide
- Start with a blank canvas — opens the regular empty builder
The wizard is recommended for non-technical makers or when you want a quick first version to iterate on. After the wizard finishes you land in the regular builder, where every step can still be edited, re-ordered, deleted or extended. See: journey-wizard.
