# Story so far

The traveler has landed at the destination and is exiting the airport. You now build the journey that detects their location, checks whether it matches their destination airport, and sends a push notification with a personalized itinerary and suggested things to do.

# Creating the journey

To get an overview of all journeys in Adobe Journey Optimizer:

- In the menu on the left side, under **Journey management**, click on **Journeys**. You will see an overview with all existing journeys.

## Structure

The journey flow is:

- detect when the traveler is exiting an airport.
- Check if this airport matches the traveler’s destination
- If so, make an API call to retrieve all available activities.
- Send a push notification to the traveler with the recommendation.

## Create new journey

- Click on **Create Journey**.
- Select **Create from scratch **and click **Confirm**. 

You'll be taken to the **Journey canvas** with the journey properties opened.

- Set the **name** to `[{{LASTNAME}}] Experience - Leave the destination airport`.
- Set the **re-entrance wait period** to `1 Day`. This prevents the journey from triggering multiple times a day for the same customer.
- Leave the other parameters with the default values.
- Click **Ok** to save and close the properties.

### Event trigger - Location entry

The journey must be triggered when the user enters the geofence of a point of interest (POI). 

1. From the Events tab, choose the event **exampleLocationExit** and drag it onto the canvas.
2. Set the label to `Exit the destination airport`.
3. There's nothing else to configure.
4. Click **Save** to close the menu.

### Condition

When the traveler exits a Point of Interest (POI), the first step is to identify which airport it corresponds to in order to propose relevant activities.

- From the **Orchestration** tab, choose **Optimize** and drag it onto the empty circle on the canvas.
- Click on the activity to open the detailed view.
- Set the **Label** to `Upcoming flight at the airport`.
- Leave **Method** as `Data source condition`.
- Click on **Path1** and change the label to `Yes`.
- Click on the text field below **Expression** to open a window.
- On the left side, search for `POI`, find the **field** `POI name(name)` and drag it to the right side.
- Set the operator to `equal to`.
- On the left side, search for `airport.` You will not find it.

:::hint{type="info"}
The expression editor provide two types of interfaces: **Simple Mode** and **Advanced** **Mode**. One of the differences is that only in Advanced Mode you can compare Contextual variables with Profile attributes. That's the reason why now you have to switch to **Advanced Mode**.
:::

- Click on the **Advanced Mode** button.
- Scroll to the right, and delete the double quotes.
- On the left-hand side, search for `airport`, locate the field `Code (code)` field, and select it; the variable will be added to the formula. This expression ensures that the exiting airport matches the traveler’s destination airport.
- The expression should look like this:

- Click **Ok** to save the expression. 
- Click **Save**.

### Custom action

Before sending a communication to the traveler, you want to ensure that relevant services or activities are actually available at the destination. This avoids sending messages that are not actionable or relevant to the traveler’s situation.

In the travel use case, the custom action is used to retrieve available activities or services that the traveler can enjoy after arriving at the destination airport, based on factors such as location, timing, and availability :

- From the **Actions** tab, choose the **exampleGetAirportThingsToDo** action and drag it onto the empty circle on the canvas on the **Yes** branch.
- Set the label to `Get airport things to do`.
- Scroll down to query parameters.
- Click on the textfield.
- Search for **poiID **and select the respective checkbox `POI identify`
- Click **Ok.**
- Scroll up and click **Save**.

Your journey should look like this:

### Push Notification

The final step is to send the push notification.

- From the actions tab, choose **Action** and drag it onto the empty circle on the canvas on the **Yes** branch.
- Choose **Push** Action Types
- Click **Add**.
- Set the **label** to `Get airport things to do`.
- Click on **Configure Action**
- Select **pushMessages **from the push notification drop down
- Click on **Edit content **to start designing your push.
- Set the **title** to
  - Welcome to !
- Set the **body** to
  - Don't hesitate to check these recommendations during your stay:`.`

When the customer clicks on the push, should be redirected to the delivery QR code. To do this, in the **On click behavior **section

- Select **Deeplink **value from the **Body click behavior** drop down
- Next, in the text field enter the following URL `com.adobe.dsn.dxdemo://orderqrcode` This will open the app and open the QR code page



Your screen should look like the image below:
