How to send campaign (non-transactional) emails inside an automation?

Hi @patonbrevo ,

Thanks for posting on this community!

Actually, here are the differences between marketing emails and transactional emails:

  • marketing emails: basically, they are campaigns: you send one email to N users, in one time

  • transactional emails: you send one email to one person.

More details on this article: https://help.brevo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021196220-What-is-the-difference-between-Marketing-emails-Transactional-emails-Automation-

So, if the emails you send on day 2/4/6 are sent through an automation, they are considered by Brevo as transactional emails.
If you were to send them manually from a campaign, they would be considered as marketing emails.

Back to your use case, if you want to consider people who unsubscribe from these emails as being « marketing only » unbsubscribed, from my current knowledge you have no other choices than sending them through a campaign.
