After you have created a new campaign and setup a campaign, you have the option to Add More Touches to your email campaign.
If you clicked Add More Touches or Split An Audience, you will be taken into Bluecore’s Experience Designer tool to build out your shoppers’ journey.
Within this tool, you can: add a touch, split an audience, edit a touch/split, delete a touch/split, and review and launch an Experience.

1. Hover over the audience that should receive the touch.
2. Click Add Touch.
