Efficient Way to Update Event IDs Across Multiple Journey Nodes

[RakeshK1]

Hi All,

I have a use case where many journeys are using the same design path but are sending different mails.

Journey 1 - Unitary event1 - Condition Node - Custom Action1 - Custom Action2 - Email2

Journey 2 - Unitary event1 - Condition Node - Custom Action1 - Custom Action2 - Email2

here, the custom actions are same and things that differs from 1st to 2nd is the unitary events, Emails and Event id's in custom actions.

the problem is when ever I wanted to create a new journey duplicating it will give same design but I need to replace all event id of unitary event 1 to unitary event 2 and lets say I have 30 nodes and each has 10 fields to update. This will result in updating 300 changes and If i need to repeat this for 200 journeys. This is going to be too cumbersome along with UI loading and other minor issues.

Is there a way where we could update event id and it would replace at all nodes? or a different way of doing this

Thanks

Yes. Updating the event IDs for all nodes within a journey is currently a cumbersome process when setting up a new journey. There's no easy way to update across the entire journey activities at once.

Select (Ctrl+A) and copy(Ctrl+C)  all the nodes in the journey and paste(Ctrl+V)  them into a Notepad file. This will provide the complete journey in JSON format.

Update the required information directly in the JSON. Then, copy and paste the modified JSON into a new journey. This will automatically create all the updated nodes.

While this is not an ideal approach, it significantly improves the speed of making changes.

@Anuhya-Y That's a clever approach. Nice workaround!
