Transactional emails are automated emails that are triggered by a specific action or event, such as a purchase confirmation or password reset request.

Examples of common transactional emails include:

These emails are often sent from a company's own domain and are designed to look and feel like an extension of the company's branding and website.

Transactional emails are a key component of any successful email marketing strategy, as they help build trust and credibility with customers by providing timely and relevant information. They also have a high open rate, as recipients are often expecting and actively seeking out this information.
