Creating a Point of Interest (POI)

We'll be creating a POI for a new Luma store so we can use it's geolocation to trigger our journey if a customer enters it.

Click on Create POI. A menu will open on the right side.

Give your store a name like [your name] My Luma Store.
Make sure the Library is set to Luma.
Leave the radius at 100. This setting defines how large the POI is (in meters).
Set the Icon to whatever you prefer.
Set the Color to lightgreen.
Set the Category to Store.
Unfold Location, scroll down and click Drop Pin on Map. This will allow you to click anywhere on the map to place your POI. Choose a location and drop your pin. You'll know you did it right if the latitude and longitude become populated.
Click Save to create your POI.

You're now finished creating your POI. Click on nine-dots icon on the top right corner and navigate back to Journey Optimizer.
