Hi!
I am currently building out a customer journey and have run into a specific issue regarding the if/then (email open/specific email link click) element. I would like to send an email to a customer, and then from this email create an if/then branch specified to email open. From there, if the customer opens the email I would like to add an element to then determine whether a specific email link was clicked on or not. The issue I'm encountering is that it does not seem to be possible to add an if/then branch for email open and then follow with an if/then for specific email link on the yes branch as it does not directly follow the email. Is there a work around or solution to being able to use these features consecutively?
Hi partner,
Yes, this is a custom trigger. We don't need to create a new trigger every time for different email links.

Thanks for the feedback! If I do create a custom trigger as shown above, will this trigger only work for one specific email link clicked and therefore I would need to create a new trigger every time for different email links?
Hi Sayen
Would this be a custom trigger that needs to be created for the email link opened? I dont see the out of the box trigger for email link clicked?

Hi Brad,
Yes, we need to select a trigger to trigger the event that the email link is opened.
We can also set conditions for the trigger under Wait for.
HI Sayen
Thanks for the feedback. I have tried that but still have no option to use Email Link opened. In the second branch i can only select a trigger
Can you elaborate further please?
Sorry for my late.
If you want to create an if/then branch for email open and then follow with an if/then for specific email link on the yes branch, you can create a real-time journey based on segment.
Here is a simple demo:

HI Lauren
We are encountering the same issue. Did you manage to find a solution?
Hi thanks for the answer! I am in real-time marketing though and not outbound, is there a way to make this possible in real-time?
It is available to add an if/then branch for email open and then follow with an if/then for specific email link on the yes branch.
Here is a simple customer journey:
There is no error when we go live the customer journey.
