I have been trying to create a Custom Split Decision as described here but I am not able to make it work.

My activity seams to be fine when I look at the Journey Build, but when I execute a journey it always uses the yes path even if my API service is replying no branchResult.

res.send(200, {
    "branchResult": (result ? 'yes' : 'no'),
    "message": "the anwer was ("+contactKey+": "+(result ? 'yes' : 'no')+")"
});

After a few checks I realize that the running interaction configuration is missing the outcomes[n].arguments data during the test/activation process.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it a bug?


This is how my journy looks like:

The type should be 'RestDecision' instead of 'REST', as Drew mentioned.

However, it also looks like the outcome arguments are not getting saved to the activity's JSON structure. Can you verify that the correct JSON is being sent to Journey Builder in your activity's javascript when the updateActivity Postmonger event is called? One way to do this is to set localStorage.debugLog = true in your browser console. This will cause Journey Builder to log all Postmonger events with their respective arguments in the console.

  • The answer you and Drew Simmons gave me was almost right. It started working when I set the Type to 'RESTDECISION'. Thanks guys! Apr 14, 2015 at 15:32

In your config.json try changing "type": "REST" to "type": "RESTDECISION".
