Create a transactional campaign
Design a transactional email template with dynamic and personalized content that is triggered from the API by a specific customer action.
Moosend can be set up to automatically send a transactional email. A transactional email message is sent in response to a user action on a website and is typically sent to individuals one at a time with information unique to the recipient.
For example, you can configure the following customer actions to trigger a specific response:
Request a password reset - send a password reset email message.
Abandons a cart - send an abandoned cart reminder email that displays the products left in the cart and possibly offers incentives (discounts, promotions) to complete the purchase.
Makes a purchase on your website - send a receipt with images of the purchased products.
When you design a transactional email template, you have the flexibility to incorporate dynamic content, allowing for personalized information to be replaced dynamically through the API. Within the editor, you can insert variables for dynamic elements, such as product names and images and then define their values through the API. This allows you to send customized emails to customers, triggered by specific actions they take.
When you create a transactional campaign, either in Moosend or through the API, a transactional email list is automatically created. This list has the same name as the campaign, although you can rename it if you want to.
You cannot delete a transactional email list, but you can delete all members of the email list. To delete the members, on the email list overview, navigate to the transactional email list, click More > Delete.
Note
By default, transactional email campaigns will by default not display an unsubscribe link.
