How to use Scenario Groups?

Organise scenarios into groups to keep your workspace tidy and control which scenario runs when several match the same trigger.

Scenario groups organise your scenarios into folders and control how they behave when several scenarios match the same trigger. Instead of scrolling a long list, you group related scenarios together and set clear rules for which one runs.

Two types of group

When you create a group, you choose its type:

  • Priority group. Only the highest-priority matching scenario runs. Use this when you want one specific response to win, like a VIP flow that overrides your default. You set the order by dragging scenarios inside the group. This is the default type, so a "plain" new group is exclusive unless you make it normal.

  • Normal group. All matching scenarios run independently. Use this to organise scenarios that should all fire without competing, like a set of unrelated follow-up sequences.

Scenarios that aren't in any group always run independently.

Create a group

  1. Go to Scenarios.

  2. Click New group.

  3. Give it a name and pick a type, priority or normal.

  4. Click Create.

Add scenarios to a group

From the Scenarios list, drag any scenario onto a group row to assign it. You can move scenarios between groups at any time.

Set the order in a priority group

Inside a priority group, drag scenarios up or down to set their priority. The scenario at the top has the highest priority and wins when several scenarios in the group match the same trigger.

⚠️ While a scenario in a priority group is already running for a contact, no other scenario in that group will start for that same contact until the first one finishes. This is what keeps a single, clean response per person.

Turn a whole group on or off

Each group row has a status toggle that flips every scenario in the group on or off at once. It shows as active when at least one scenario inside is active.

Edit, duplicate, or delete a group

Click the menu on any group row to:

  • Rename it or change its type between priority and normal.

  • Duplicate it, which copies the group and all its scenarios. The copies are created inactive.

  • Delete it. When you delete, you choose whether to move the scenarios back to the ungrouped list or delete them along with the group.

🐾 Netsuke's Tips

  • Use a priority group whenever two scenarios could fire for the same person. Put your most specific flow (a VIP or returning-customer flow) at the top so it beats the general one.

  • Keep a normal group for housekeeping. Grouping all your "thank-you" or "follow-up" scenarios together makes the list readable even if they never compete.

  • Duplicating a group is a fast way to set up a second account or test variations, since the copies come in inactive and won't fire until you turn them on.

  • Order matters only inside priority groups. In a normal group, dragging changes display order, not which scenario wins.
