Editing Split (section)

== Step-by-Step Instructions ==

In this section, we will detail how to implement the '''Split''' action, including creating '''Split Paths''', '''Split Tests''', and conditional splits.

=== Creating Split Paths ===

1. In the desired automation, click the node (+) where you wish to add the '''Split''' action.
2. In the '''Add an action''' modal, select '''Workflow''' and then click the '''Split''' action.
3. Choose the '''Split paths''' option.
4. From the '''Split''' modal, select one of the following options:
   * '''Split contacts evenly'''
      1. Select the radio button for '''Split contacts evenly'''.
      2. Choose a number between 2 and 10 for the number of paths.
   * '''Split contacts by a percentage'''
      1. Select the radio button for '''Split contacts by a percentage'''.
      2. Click on '''+Add a path''' to create up to 10 paths.
      3. Adjust the percentage by hovering over the percentage fields and using the up or down arrows.
      4. Click on '''Equalize all paths''' to evenly distribute the percentage across paths.
5. Click the '''Save''' button to finalize your split path setup.

You can hover over each path to see how many contacts have traversed that specific path. To modify paths, hover over and click the '''+''' icon to add paths or the garbage bin icon to delete them.

=== Creating a Split Test ===

1. In the desired automation, click the node (+) where you wish to add the '''Split''' action.
2. In the '''Add an action''' modal, select '''Workflow''' and then click the '''Split''' action.
3. Choose the '''Split test''' option.
4. Click '''Continue'''.
5. Specify how you want the split test to function:
   * '''Split until a specific date''' - Enter the end date for your split test.
   * '''Split until a specific number of contacts have been split''' - Input the total number of contacts to be split.
   * '''Split until a specific number of contacts have met winning conditions''' - Define the number of contacts meeting the winning criteria.
6. Select the number of paths for your split test.
7. Use the segment builder to establish the conditions determining the winning path.
8. Click the '''Save''' button.

=== Creating a Conditional Split ===

The conditional split is designed to send contacts down '''Path A''' until specific conditions are met, at which point they will transition to '''Path B'''.

1. In the desired automation, click the node (+) where you wish to add the '''Split''' action.
2. In the '''Add an action''' modal, select '''Workflow''' and then click the '''Split''' action.
3. Select the '''Conditional Split''' option and then click '''Continue'''.
4. Set your conditions:
   * Choose to split contacts until a specific date or until a defined number of contacts have been split.
5. Click the '''Save''' button.
