A newly added contact will be added to the Journey funnel whether added to the database by:
- CSV import
- API call
- Manually added via GUI
Please note, to also add a contact via subscription form submission, you would need to add the Event: Submitted a Form, and make sure the logical operator rule is set to "Or" (default value). See Fig 2 below.
