Hi juliettec1230 ,

I saw your other post on API/API-Triggered Emails. A very short answer is that all emails, transactional or not, can be set up using the action-based delivery, and I actually recommend it that way. 

API-Triggered is definitely possible, but it will require your engineers to be involved to set up and launch those campaigns. 

This is a great topic that causes lots of confusion; I'm happy to write some more thoughts and send them your way!

    I would appreciate it! The main reason we're exploring it is to be cognizant of using too many data points for high volume transactional emails (like reminder emails for an upcoming event someone RSVP'd to). if you have any POV on this, let me know!
