About Deliver and transactional message
A transactional message is a single message sent in response to a specific, predetermined transaction detected in your business systems. Unica provides the Deliver Transactional messaging Service (TMS) as a hosted web service to process transactional messages. Digital marketers work with application developers to integrate corporate transaction management systems with the Deliver TMS.
What digital marketers do for transactional messages
Using Deliver to send transactional message requires advance preparation and coordination between the digital marketing team and application developers responsible for your corporate transactional systems.
About responding to errors related to transactional email
Sometimes a transactional email message does not transmit as expected. The failure could be due to problems with the message configuration or temporary problems with mailing resources. If the Deliver TMS determines that a problem exists, the web service returns an advisory error code to the local transactional email client.

    - What application developers do for transactional message
      Application developers create the local transactional message client that submits transactional message requests to the Unica Deliver Transactional messaging Service (TMS). The local transactional message client application processes each transactional message message by making a REST or a SOAP request to the Deliver TMS over an HTTPS connection.
    - Choosing between REST API and SOAP API
      Unica provides both options of interacting with TMS service using REST or SOAP API.
  - Integration with the Deliver transactional message service
    The Deliver Transactional messaging System (TMS) is a web service hosted as part of HCL Unica hosted services. Application developers must work with digital marketers in your organization to create the client applications required to integrate your corporate transactional systems with the Deliver TMS. These client applications initiate each transactional message by making a SOAP request to the Deliver TMS over an HTTPS connection.

About responding to errors related to transactional email

Sometimes a transactional email message does not transmit as expected. The failure could be due to problems with the message configuration or temporary problems with mailing resources. If the Deliver TMS determines that a problem exists, the web service returns an advisory error code to the local transactional email client.

The local transactional email client is responsible for error handling. Application developers must design the client to recognize the error messages that the Deliver TMS might return. For a list of error codes in the Deliver TMS, see Error messages for transactional email.

All parties must be prepared to respond to unforeseen email problems. If the problems relate to mailing configuration or message design, application developers might call on the digital marketing team to resolve the issue.
