Transact XML
Test Using Transact
Before you send a test mailing using Transact, you will need the Campaign/Group ID. Each group of
automated messages has an associated unique ID, which you can obtain from Engage.
To get the Campaign/Group ID:
Go to Automation > Automated Messages > View Groups. From the Active tab, select the group you
want to test. The Group of Automated Messages Summary page displays and shows all details about
the group, including the ID (at the top of the page, to the right of the Group Name).
Test the Response Message through Transact
Use the steps below to test the mailing of a transaction response message through Transact. Note that
the following test is performed outside of the Engage interface by using the Transact Test Harness.
1. Make sure that all items on the Organization and Silverpop Administrative Setup Essentials
checklist (see the link on this topic page) are complete. Transact will not send messages unless
all items are completed.
2. Compose an XML Submit document. The XML formatting must be exact. XML tags in Engage
can be in lowercase, uppercase, or mixed case, but tags must exactly match the tags used in
Engage. Booleans (true, false) must be in lowercase.
Include the following items in the document:
• Campaign/Group ID
• Contact email address
• XML CDATA content, including hyperlinks, if using CDATA content.
• Any personalization tag names included in the database and Template, and their
values.
Include the following items in testing only if you are including the items in production:
• Error response instructions, if other than default
• Batch or individual processing instructions
• Save Column instructions
• Transaction ID
