4. Enter the exact IP address, including periods (do not enter any User or API settings).

Other Setup Tasks for Transact
Create the following on the user’s system for Transact mailings:
Contact names and information. The Engage contact database is blank. You must identify the
Personalization fields (tags) used in the XML for the database. Your system will dynamically generate
the contact name and information.
Content sent in the XML CDATA. Your system can dynamically customize and send all content for the
transactional email. It is not necessary to include this information manually in the Engage template
(with the exception of fields).
Notes:
• You can include URLs in the CDATA.
• Personalization fields used to identify contact information and URLs in the XML Submit
document must be set up in the Engage database and template (and identified in the XML
elements for the Submit Document). Exception: you do not need to include a field in the
template for data that will only be stored in the database.
