Send a single transactional email

[nPr]

Hi ,

I am in search of help to clarify the below,

1. Can I use pre-defined templates in single send transactional API?
2. Is there an API that helps me pull email templates created in hubspot?
3. Can A/B test transactional mails?

I want to leverage hubspot as a templating tool and provide a capability in my app to select template and send a mail from through hubspot. 

thanks,

Hey @nPr  (thanks for the tag @TiphaineCuisset),

I'll try to answer your questions in the same formatting for clarity:

1. Yes, you can use marketplace themes, drag and drop, as well as custom themes from the design manager
2. I don't think so, but not 100% on this.  You should reference the internal ID associated with the email.  I commonly use a Gsheet to keep track of these.
3. Yes, you should be able to test A/B

Hope this helps!

Hi @nPr ,

I will try to answer your questions one by one. 

1. Yes, you can use pre-defined templates using the Single-send API. The Single-send API sends template emails created in the HubSpot email tool using a JSON-formatted POST call.
2. Yes, you can use the SMTP API and the Single-send API.
3. Yes, you can A/B test transactional email content to optimize your overall transactional email performance.

Note that you need the transactional email add-on to use these APIs.

You can refer to this article to better understand how to use the Single-send API.

Hope this helps!

If we were able to answer your query, kindly help the community by marking it as a solution.

Thanks and Regards.
