Transactional email overview

Transactional email overview

Application-triggered email and the transactional log.

Transactional emails are sent by your application (password reset, receipts, alerts)—not bulk marketing campaigns.

Transactional log

Transactional → Log lists messages Mailivate sent on behalf of your app:

  • Recipient and subject
  • Status (sent, bounced, etc.)
  • Resend option for failures

Templates vs marketing

Transactional templates define HTML for named sends from your codebase. Marketing templates under Templates are for campaigns and automations.

Configure your app to send through Mailivate’s transactional API or mailer integration—see your developer setup.
