What is the purpose of Triggered Send in Marketing Cloud SSJS?

• A. To send a triggered email to a recipient via a Triggered Send Definition
• B. To add a subscriber to a List
• C. To update a Data Extension row
• D. To configure an API integration

Answer: (A)

Triggered Sends are about delivering an email in real time in response to a specific event, using a preconfigured Triggered Send Definition. In SSJS you trigger this send by calling the Triggered Send API with the Definition’s identifier, the recipient’s subscriber key, and any personalization data. The system then uses the email, sender profile, and delivery settings defined in that Triggered Send Definition to render and send the message immediately to that one recipient (or a small set), rather than scheduling a batch push. This makes it ideal for on-demand, transactional messages like password resets, order confirmations, or welcome emails triggered by an external action. The other options describe subscriber management, data extension updates, or API configuration, which are not about delivering an on-demand email via a Triggered Send Definition.
