Having Issue with an Journey Event not Triggering

Hello, 

I’m trying to create a Journey using a Read Audience going into an Email. I am trying to only have the profile continue if they click on a specific CTA in the email. 

 

I created an Rule Based Event where I look for a click and Label 

 

However when I run the Journey and Click the email, I do not get the desired result of the second Email. I’ve even tried adding a Reaction Event and then see if the above event triggers and I get nothing, 

 

But when I run a query in the ActionID - I can see clicks and Label. I need to have some assistance figuring this out since this is necessary for a few more reactions I will have in the Journey, 

 

What am I doing wrong? How can I correct this Journey?

    @montezh2001 When using a unitary event, it’s important to note that you can’t use the out-of-the-box AJO datasets (Message Feedback, Email Tracking, and similar). Instead, you need to set up a batch audience with a specific CTA and include it in your journey.

    @SatheeskannaK thank you for the response. I created a Streaming audience of the CTA Clicks. Updated the journey with an Audience Qualification to “listen” for ‘Enters’ into the audience to send the next message in the Journey. 

    Hopefully this will solve my issue.

    @montezh2001 Yes, that should work as long as you’re tracking CTA clicks rather than opens.
