Requirements to Use Single Send API

[RodrigoLMarques]

Hi,

I'm currently using Marketing Hub Professional, and I'm interested in using the Single Send API to send emails using templates with dynamic values (e.g. user name, custom fields, etc.) as part of an integration with an external application.

I’ve read that the Transactional Email Add-On is required to use the API, but in some other HubSpot documentation, it mentions that you also need Marketing Hub Enterprise — which left me a bit confused.

Additionally, I tried to create a private app with the "transactional-email" scope, but my current account does not allow selecting this scope.

Could someone clarify what is actually needed to use the Single Send API?

• Do I only need the Transactional Email Add-On?

• Or do I need both the Transactional Email Add-On + Marketing Hub Enterprise?

• Or is Marketing Hub Enterprise alone enough?
  
  

Thanks in advance for your help!

@RodrigoLMarques - while I'm not the right authority to address all the commercial locks an limits on HubSpot accounts here, my reading of teh technical documentation is that:
- The API for single-send is only available to Enterprise accounts
- You could use the single-send API to trigger emails created (typed as automatic) in the marketing email ap and they could be of any subscription type defined in that configuration. and to be delivered through the HubSpot marketing email mechanisms/DKIM authentication etc.
- Such emails can include all types of personalization property tokens to be resolved at send time, including the new "custom" tokens set by the API call.

- If you additionally purchase the Transctional email add-on, your subscrioption types include this option when you set up the email template - so you get access to the additional features and functions of this subscription type. This does not add to the personalization/dynamic values option in the email template.

Hope this is helpful.
