# Run Journey Event

### Overview

The Run Journey Event Data Operation allows Data Flows to run Journey Events within a user’s session or invoke an event in a different session. This is useful for performing client side operations (such as updating a web page, sending a text message, placing a phone call, etc) from within a data operation.&#x20;

### Use Cases

* Send a text message to a user to notify of an update from Portal Builder through a Data Flow, by taking the session ID from a stored value in AirData and passing it to the Run Journey Event Data Operation
* Update a user’s Web Flow based on an update from another system by passing in the session ID from a stored value

### Data Operation Properties

#### Session ID

Session ID corresponding to the session where the Journey Event will be run.

#### Journey Event
