6. Click Save Journey to finalize your Journey setup.

### **Add People to the Group**

Once your Group and Journey are connected and your Journey is fully set up:

- Add the people you want to include in the Group by navigating back to Groups, selecting the desired Group, and Manage People in Group.
- If you already added people before setting up the Journey, remove anyone who did not receive the initial message and add them back to ensure they receive it.

### **Best Practice**

- Always confirm your Group and Journey are connected before adding people to avoid missed messages.
- Double-check your NurturePoint messages are fully edited and saved.
