Journeys: Create a journey

accessFlow lets you create custom journeys for auditing key user flows to help make sure you site is accessible and compliant. These events could include adding an item to a cart or signing up. You can record actions using our session recorder or create your journeys manually. 

Journeys are executed in a headless browser and accessibility issues are evaluated at each step. They are executed during the regular audit process and the results are displayed in the dashboard.

Note: If you have configured steps to bypass a login wall, accessFlow automatically executes these steps and logs you in to the site before executing the steps in the funnel. See Bypass a login wall
