API Description and Functional Purpose:

The batch messages resource sends a message or schedules a message to be sent as a one time communication. It contains details on content, channel, send trigger, type of communication (transactional or promotional), subject line, from and reply address and HTML.

Additional Information:

• When creating a batch message, you have the option to send it on command, or to queue it for a later date and time.
• Sending is a two part process that involves a POST method to create the message and a PUT method to schedule or send the message.
• When a batch message is created via the POST method, it is by default placed into a "draft" status. This enables editing and subsequent modifications to the message, as well as deleting the batch message.
• It is important to note that the PUT method is required to activate the sending or scheduling of the message using its "id" (provided back in the response of the POST).
  • Example: PUT <path>/batchmessages/{id}/send'
  • If there is a "schedule" date, then the "status" changes to "scheduled"'
  • If there is no "schedule" date, then the message is immediately queued and the "status" is changed to "pending".
  • In either case, as soon as sending begins, the "status" will change to "processing" and then to "sent" once complete.
• The GET /batchmessages call is also used to retrieve info on daily Automation sends.
