QA in the HIIV — Issue 004
Conditional journeys, a visual canvas, and the bugs you only notice after the damage is done.
Welcome to issue four. Every day, we show you what QA is putting through its paces, what could break, and why you should care. Let's get into it.
Synopsis
Conditional branching in automations — if/else paths based on opens, clicks, segment membership, or custom fields — with a visual flow canvas.
What needs to be QA'ed
Each branch condition routes subscribers down the correct path
Subscribers can't get stuck, looped, or land in two branches at once
Wait/delay steps respect timezones and don't drift
Edits to a live journey don't strand subscribers mid-flow
Re-entry rules behave as configured
The visual canvas matches the logic actually executing under the hood
Why it matters:
Automations run unattended for weeks, which means a branching bug doesn't get caught on send — it compounds silently across thousands of subscribers before anyone notices the wrong people got the wrong sequence. A subscriber stuck in a loop or dropped from a nurture flow is lost revenue and a bad experience that the creator never sees happening. The canvas has to be honest about what's really running.
See ya next time with more QA and why it matters!
Enjoy, Tina
