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.
Construction of the transactional email request
To access the Deliver TMS, the transactional email client must be able to provide credentials to connect to the TMS. It must also provide mailing and message information as part of the web service request. Unica provides two versions of a WSDL as a guide to structuring a SOAP request that includes all information required to send a transactional email.
locale
This parameter specifies the locale, including the associated language, which is used for messages that are sent back from the Deliver Transactional Mailing Service.

  - 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.

    - Identification of transaction events
      Application developers must design the local transactional message client to interact with transaction monitoring systems used by your organization. The client must take transaction notifications as input and distinguish the type of transaction event that the transaction management system is reporting.
    - Access to recipient data
      To personalize transactional messages, the local transactional message client must access business systems and databases that can provide recipient-specific data used in transactional message.
    - Connection to the Deliver TMS
      You must design the local transactional message client to automatically connect to the Unica data center assigned to your hosted message account. The client must be able to provide the appropriate authentication credentials as part of the web service request.
    - Attachments in transactional email requests
      The Deliver TMS supports attaching one or more files to a transactional email message. The web services request must contain the file contents and information that describes each file.

        Use the fields parameter to provide recipient-specific information to populate personalization fields defined in the transactional email message.
      - Cell codes

      - additionalOptions
        This parameter is reserved for future use.
      - attachments
