## Exercise 7: Adding an exit criteria

There's many ways a customer can purchase a Meal Deal, and they could do so at any point in the journey. 

In these cases, we wouldn't want them to receive any further communication from this journey. This is where **Exit criteria** come into play. With this feature you can define real-time triggers that cause the profile to be removed from the journey.

1. On the right side of the canvas you'll find a small vertical hotbar. Click on the :FontAwesome[]{icon="fa-solid fa-user"}**-icon** to **Show exit criteria**.
2. Click on :FontAwesome[]{icon="fa-solid fa-plus"}** Add exit criteria**.
   1. Set the **label** to `Purchased a Meal Deal`.
   2. Choose **Audience** as the exit criteria.
   3. Click on the Audience input field or on the :FontAwesome[]{icon="fa-solid fa-pencil"} **-icon**. A window will open
   4. Select the audience `Tesco - Lapsed Meal Deal Purchaser` and click **Save**.
   5. Set the **behavior** to `Exit`, this is the default value.
   6. Click **Save**.
