Transmission

Transmission is the send path for application-generated email. Your application submits a message, Mailtarget accepts it for processing, and later events report what happened at recipient mailboxes.

Request model​

A send request typically contains:

  • subject
  • from
  • to
  • bodyText or bodyHtml
  • optional replyTo, cc, and bcc
  • optional templateId and substitutionData
  • optional metadata
  • optional tracking settings

Persist the returned transmissionId. It is the join key for webhooks, analytics, and internal application state.

Templates​

Use templates when the layout and copy live in Mailtarget and your application supplies variables. Use direct bodyText or bodyHtml when the application owns the full message body.

Tracking​

Delivery and engagement are asynchronous. Use webhooks for near-real-time outcomes and analytics endpoints for aggregate reporting.
