Hi !

I wish to create a “marketing” email via API (/marketing/v3/emails/) but I want to choose “Transactionnal” as subscription type (I have the transactionnal email add-ons), but I cannot find the correct parameter to do that, any idea ?

I’ve tried : “transactionnal”: true, “isTransactionnal”: true,

“subscription\_name”: “Transactionnel”,

“subscription”: -1

Thank you,

Virginie

Thx Bérangère,

I know about the transactionnal email API, but it is not what I want to do.  
I really need to create a marketing email with subscription type = transactionnal.  
The only way I found at the moment is to clone an existing email which has this setting.  
Thank you,

Virginie

I found the solution :  
We need to pass this in the payload :

“subscriptionDetails”: {

“subscriptionId”: “-1”

}

Hope it can help 😉

Thank you,

Virginie
