- Not sure which tool to learnCount the tools your target job posts name, then read that column first.
- Not from a tech backgroundWords like SDK and API get a plain definition and an example.
- Tutorials leave you confusedThey use one tool’s names. This teaches the idea first, then each tool’s word.
- Short on timeNew to CRM? The big picture and all 11 layers take about two hours.
Built for marketing CRM tools, the ones that send WhatsApp, email, SMS and push. If you need Salesforce or sales pipeline software, or advice on which tool to buy, skip this one.

What is it really?
From page 5 · Same ideas, different names
MoEngage and Klaviyo call it a Flow. CleverTap and WebEngage call it a Journey. Braze calls it a Canvas. What is it?
Five tools, three names, one idea.
Pick the plain meaning.
That’s path analysis. CleverTap calls that report “Flows”, which is exactly the mix-up the kit warns you about.
That’s it: a journey. Flow, Journey and Canvas all mean this same thing.
That’s a campaign. It sends one message, with no waits or branches of its own.
Why it matters
Tutorials and job posts each use one tool’s words. If you know the idea underneath, a demo of any tool makes sense, and you can use the company’s own word in the interview.
The kit’s version
“An automated, multi-step path that messages each person based on what they do, with waits and branches.”
That’s one page of the kit. See it as it is:
The two-week practice plan
Practise on a real tool this week
Most CRM tools sell to companies, not people. The kit shows which ones let you in on your own, and gives you a day-by-day plan to build something you can show.
What you get
- Which tools have a free plan or trial you can join alone
- A day-by-day plan: test contacts, customer groups, then a welcome flow
- A one-page case to write up and show in interviews
- How to talk about it honestly, in the interviewer’s tool words

Questions, answered
I’ve never used any CRM tool. Will this make sense?
Yes. It’s written for people who have never had a login. Each concept gets a plain definition, an example from one practice brand and what each tool calls it.
How long does it take?
About two hours for the big picture and all 11 layers if you’re new. If your interview is soon, start with the “Same ideas, different names” table and the ten naming traps.
MoEngage or CleverTap: which should I learn first?
Look at five CRM job posts you want and count which tool they name most. Read that tool’s column first. The parts are the same in every tool, only the names change.
Can I practise on MoEngage without working at a company?
When the kit was checked in October 2026, it found no self-serve trial for MoEngage, WebEngage or Netcore, only demos on request. Klaviyo’s free plan and CleverTap’s 30-day trial were open to individuals, and the kit gives you a two-week plan to use them. Offers change, so check before you sign up.
Is this made by MoEngage, CleverTap or the other tools?
No. Compound Lab is a retention agency and isn’t linked to, or endorsed by, any of these companies. Tools rename features often, so check the live docs before quoting a term in writing.
Is this the same as Salesforce CRM?
No. This is marketing CRM: the tools that send WhatsApp, email, SMS and push to customers. Sales pipeline software like Salesforce isn’t covered.
What do I get, and in what format?
One 41-page PDF: the big picture, 56 concepts in 11 layers, the ten naming traps, a two-week practice plan and a tool term index. The link arrives by email.
Do I get a certificate?
Not from this kit. If you want one, the kit lists the free courses: CleverTap University offers free certificates (non-customers apply first), and Braze’s courses are free but its exams are paid.
Why is it free right now?
The first 100 learners get it free as the founding batch, in return for one honest review after a week. After that it sells for ₹349.
