# Starter journeys: the fastest way to begin

**Category:** [CRM](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/categories/crm-1)
**Updated:** 2026-10-04

**Starter journeys** are four ready-made email sequences with draft copy you can edit. They cover the moments that matter most for a new customer, so you do not have to build them from scratch.
### What you get
JourneyWho it enrolsEmails**Welcome**Every new contact, as soon as they are created1, sent immediately**Trial ending soon**Trials with 3 days or less remaining1, sent immediately**Trial expired**Trials that have lapsed2 — one straight away, one a week later**Onboarding drip**Every new contact3, on days 2, 5 and 10
### Adding them

- Go to **CRM › Journeys**.
- Click **Starter journeys**.
- Review the summary, then confirm.

**Nothing is sent when you add them.** Every journey arrives as a *draft*. You choose when — and whether — each one goes live.
### Adding them more than once

The button is safe to use repeatedly. It only adds the journeys you do not already have, and anything already present is marked *Already added* in the confirmation window. It never creates duplicates and never overwrites copy you have edited.
