Which of the following is a correct example of a component of a triggered send?

• A. Definition and API Request
• B. Data Extension Password
• C. Triggered Emails UI
• D. Activation Key

Answer: (A)

Triggered sends work by pairing a defined setup with a way to start the send. The essential pieces are the Triggered Send Definition, which specifies which email to send and how to map subscriber data from a data source (like a Data Extension) to the email fields, and the API request that actually launches the send using that defined setup. In other words, you need both the definition (what to send and how) and the trigger mechanism (how to initiate the send) for a triggered email to work. A password for a Data Extension isn’t part of the sending process, the UI is just a management interface, and an activation key isn’t used in this sending flow.
