**Use Case:** Send an Email Update to My Subscribers of a specific PLAN. Email should be triggered through API and not scheduled. **What I have done?** All receipents are added to a specific Contact List, TemplateID is ready. I can now send an individual Email using the TemplateID, To Email and Params **What is missing?** But no option to send to the entrire contact list instead of adding multiple To addresses. ---

Hi @Pritam , thanks for posting on this community! I clearly see what you would like to do: sending via API a template to a set of contacts. What you could do: - create an email campaign: [https://developers.brevo.com/reference/createemailcampaign-1](https://developers.brevo.com/reference/createemailcampaign-1) In this call, you’ll be able to decide to which list or segment you want to send this campaign to - and then send this campaign: [https://developers.brevo.com/reference/sendemailcampaignnow-1](https://developers.brevo.com/reference/sendemailcampaignnow-1) Could that work for you? ---

Hi @ahudavert , Thanks for responding and I appreciate your time. Yes this can be DONE, I considered it as the last option. But can I just Create a Campaign by mentioning the TemplateID & the List or Segment ID ? I believe , the Mail Content, Sender Info all things are all present in the TemplateID, So can I skip all the parameters asked for Creating the Campaign ID ? If this can be DONE , then I believe I can get the Campaign ID & Call API to Send to the Contact List anytime , I hope , I don’t need to Create a Campaign again & again. My last concern is , Is there any Difference in the Transactional Emails & Campaign Emails? I just need to confirm that this Email shouldn’t be considered as a Marketing Email, It’s a Transactional Email Thanks in advance. Best Regards Pritam ---

Hi @Pritam , > can I just Create a Campaign by mentioning the TemplateID & the List or Segment ID ? Unfortunately not, what we call a campaign at Brevo includes the recipient’s list. > Is there any Difference in the Transactional Emails & Campaign Emails Do you ask if there is a difference in terms of pricing? Why do you need these emails to be considered as transactional? ---

Hi @ahudavert , Recipients List means I need to Mention the Emails of Recipients like email1,email2 ? I thought it is possible to Send to a entire Contact List, using the List ID ? > Unfortunately not, what we call a campaign at Brevo includes the recipient’s list. No , actually i have noticed that Transactional Emails goes to Inbox & Other Emails with Template which I send from the Brevo Dashboard mostly goes to Promotion. I don’t know why it does happens. > Do you ask if there is a difference in terms of pricing? Why do you need these emails to be considered as transactional? I think a very simple API Endpoint like this would be very useful > [https://developers.brevo.com/reference/sendtesttemplate-1](https://developers.brevo.com/reference/sendtesttemplate-1) Here I just need to Mention the TemplateID and If I don’t mention an Email, It will be sent to the Entire TEST List. Here If we could just mention the Contact List ID , It would be Perfect. Thanks Pritam
