What is a Scheduled job and what can I use it for?

Scheduled jobs is a functionality you can use if you want to do the selection of recipients outside Carma. A job will update your database with the data you provide and then send a message.

You can use file transfer or our API to import the recipients to Carma.

You can have a job for sending an campaign or for sending a transactional. The campaign and/or transactional needs to be created/setup before, and you as a customer need to be working in Carma Marketing Hub.
You find the feature Scheduled Jobs under Account Settings > Scheduled Jobs.

Send transactional/Send batch transactional

When you are sending a transactional (we also call it send batch trigger) you select the transactional in the setup (and the recipient list is already selected in the setup of the actual transactional) in Carma.
