Creating a Triggered Email Campaign Workflow

This page contains conceptual and procedural information on creating a triggered send email campaign using the Marketing Cloud SOAP API.

A triggered send email campaign takes a previously created email message and sends that message out in response to an outside request, such as a subscriber opting in to receive the message.
