Transactional messages
Transactional messages are available only for Aurea List Manager Enterprise, not for standard or Pro Aurea List Manager.
For information about upgrading your Aurea List Manager, contact your account executive. If you do not know who your account executive is, or for other queries, contact us through our website.
You can send a transactional message in reaction to a transaction, such as a purchase. For example, after a web site visitor makes a purchase, you can send them a confirmation message with the order information.
You can send transactional messages to both members of a list and non-members, using the TMSendMessage API.
Note
You cannot schedule a transactional message.
You can merge recipient-specific information into the message. This information is supplied by the payload data in the TMSendMessage API. To merge this data into the message, use the %%payload <name>%% merge tag, where <name> corresponds to a name in the payload data. For example, your transactional message is:
Hello %%payload name%%, Your amount due is $%%payload amount%%.
You execute the TMSendMessage where the payload data is: [name=’Mary’, amount=’12.99’ ]. The above message is sent as:
Hello Mary, Your amount due is $12.99.
You can select a segment when creating a transactional message. However, the segment is used only to access an external database, it is not used to determine message recipients. For information about accessing an external database, see New/edit segment advanced tab.
