- Add wait periods, splits, and defined customer touchpoints.
- To capture newly enrolled loyalty members, define a Salesforce data
entry based on the Loyalty Program Member object.

Some marketing campaigns related to your Loyalty Program require using queries for journey entry. Use the query’s resulting data extension for the journey entry. To include decisions splits, create additional queries. Consider Marketing Cloud Engagement query performance when designing your solution.
- Query activities time out after 30 minutes. Multiple factors can cause query timeouts.
- If the query activity is part of an automation, don’t add other activities to the same step of the automation.
Alternatively, you can use an API entry event to add the loyalty member to the journey directly from B2C Commerce or Salesforce Flow. To initiate the journey using REST API event, see Interaction: Fire the Event.
