Setting up a Transactional Integration

After you’ve completed the getting started tasks outlined in the Getting Started with Transactional Messages article, the next step is to set up a transactional email integration within Bluecore.

You will need the previously provided API key to setup this integration. A member of your email marketing team may complete this section.

1. Navigate to  Data >  Integrations.
2. Click New Integration.
3. Select the Marketplace.
4. Click the Bluecore Email Integration.
5. Navigate to the Campaign tab on the left-hand side.
6. Enter a From Name, From Email, and a Reply To Email (optional) for the transactional email header and the marketing email header. Although transactional from name isn't required to be different than the from name used for promotional sends, most marketing teams do choose to use a different from name to differentiate between the two email types.
   1. Transactional Email Header: This information is used when sending the transactional messages.
   2. Marketing Email Header: This information is used for triggers, welcome emails, and broadcast/promotional marketing sends.
7. If welcome emails are being configured, the toggle is defaulted to on for should suppress duplicate welcome emails. This prevents anyone who’s received a welcome email before to receive it again.
   Please be sure to provide Bluecore with a list of historical opt-in email addresses that will be suppressed from the welcome email campaign. This step is only necessary if you are sending a real-time welcome campaign with Bluecore.
8. Click Save on the bottom right-hand side.

The integration for transactional emails is complete. The next step is to set up the transactional API, then set up the transactional email campaign within Bluecore.
