Set Up Teams on your Journey or Cohort

Modified on Thu, 7 Aug at 1:44 AM

Instructions for setting up and assigning participants into teams within a Momenta journey or cohort—useful for grouping by region, coach, or workshop session.



Overview

Teams help categorize participants inside a Momenta journey—especially helpful in large cohorts or when working with defined client groups.

You can use teams to:

  • Send team-specific notifications or reminders
  • Segment data in dashboards by team
  • Assign participants based on region, workshop, or coach


Step 1: Create a Team Type (Journey Level)

  1. Open the relevant journey from the Client Collection view in Admin.
  2. Go to Journey Configuration > Team Types.
  3. Click Add Team Type and fill in the name, purpose, and participant limit (if needed).
  4. Click Save and Exit & Unlock when done.


Step 2: Upload Participants to the Cohort

Before creating teams in a cohort, participants must be uploaded. See: How to bulk upload participants


Step 3: Set Up Teams (Cohort Level)

  1. Go to Experiences & Cohorts and find your client.
  2. Click the three dots next to the journey > Cohorts.
  3. Click the Cohort name > Cohort Configuration > Teams.
  4. Click Add Team under the relevant Team Type. Give each team a name and participant limit.

Tip: Use the same team names across cohorts for easier Excel assignment later.


Step 4: Assign Participants to Teams

Option A: Excel Upload

  1. Click Export Roster from the cohort screen.
  2. Enter the team ID in the Team Type column (from the Teams tab).
  3. Click More > Import Roster and upload the Excel file.

Option B: Drag & Drop

  • Go to the Teams tab inside your cohort.
  • Drag and drop participants into the correct team.
  • Only one participant can be moved at a time.

Note: Changes may take 2–5 minutes to reflect. Refresh your screen if needed.


Watchouts & Considerations

  • Do not use common field names like “user,” “role,” or “region” for team types. Use alternatives like “Team Role” or “Client Region.”
  • You must add teams to each cohort individually—even if names are reused.
  • You can’t create teams until participants are uploaded to the cohort.
  • Drag-and-drop only works one participant at a time and per team type.
