Triggered delivery

warning

Triggered deliveries have been replaced by Immediate message deliveries. If creating new event-triggered deliveries, please refer to the next chapter.

Through Contactsend's API, you can set up triggered deliveries, meaning deliveries triggered by an event.

When a user performs an action, an email message is automatically sent. A typical use case is managing system messages on websites, such as password recovery emails or registration confirmation emails for an event or service. Each user will instantly receive an email with the configured template.

Triggered deliveries can be created directly from the Contactsend interface, which will return the values to use in the calls. To create a new delivery, go to the Create > Email Delivery section and select the group in which you want to create the triggered delivery. Then, select Create a new triggered dispatch.

Create new delivery: triggered

The creation process is identical to that of a regular delivery (see chapter create > email campaign > classic mode) with the difference that the delivery will not be placed in the communication area but in configure > delivery on-demand > triggered.

In the final screen, after clicking finish, the Delivery ID to be used in API calls will be displayed. Alternatively, you can use the alias if it was set initially.
