Send Transactional emails via API to a Segment

English Transactional
1

Hello! :wave:
I’m dipping my toes into Brevo, and would appreciate some advice please!

Could someone kindly advise on what is the easiest way / best practice to send Transactional emails to a Segment, via the API?

I believe need to send emails as Transactional to benefit from personalisation via parameters. (These emails will be marketing in essence.)

The most basic Segment I’d like to send to is a List, where the Contacts in it are Subscribed.

From what I can work out, this isn’t possible, and that the only method is to,

  1. Create a Template (with parameter placeholders)
  2. Get the Contacts in the List
  3. Pick out Contacts that are Subscribed
  4. Send with smtp/email, and add the Contacts from step 3) to « to » field

Does this sound right, or is there a more convenient way?

Many thanks!

Heya, thanks for replying

Yes this is the conclusion I came to. For each contact, pick out the SUBSCRIBED attribute. Seems totally fine this way, so we’re all good :+1:
