Written by Adrian PaliLast updated 3 hours ago

TTransactional emails are messages that are automatically sent in response to an action performed by a user or application. Unlike marketing campaigns, transactional emails are one-to-one communications containing information that recipients expect to receive.

Common examples include:

  • Account verification emails

  • Password reset emails

  • Order confirmations

  • Payment receipts

  • Shipping notifications

  • Account activity alerts

Sending Transactional Emails

DirectIQ provides a Transactional Email API that allows your application to send emails programmatically.

Using the API, you can send transactional messages directly from your website, application, or backend service by specifying:

  • The sender email address

  • The recipient email address

  • The email subject

  • The email content

  • Optional file attachments

Each request is authenticated using your DirectIQ API credentials to ensure secure delivery.

Using the Transactional Email API allows you to:

  • Send automated emails instantly.

  • Deliver important account notifications.

  • Integrate email sending into your own applications.

  • Keep transactional messages separate from your marketing campaigns.

  • Build custom workflows and user experiences.
