Configure the SoapUI

Sample Triggered Send Request

This sample request the 'Create' method, so you will need to have Triggered Sends setup within your Marketing Cloud account. 

Note: In the SOAP UI:

• Check the Endpoint in the top address bar.
• Enter the SOAP Request (API Call) on the left half of the screen.
• The SOAP Response will auto-populate on the right half of the screen.

• If you only receive an OK response and no status message, that indicates that the Marketing Cloud system didn't find any Syntax errors with the submitted call, but something required is missing, like a required Attribute. 
• Passing a different value for a node of the API call is acceptable in some cases and provides developers with dynamic functionality without having to create a new Object or Definition. For example a new value for <FirstName> could be passed to use a 'FirstName' other than what is already held for the Subscriber. Or SendClassification details can be temporarily overwritten to perform a send using a different FromName, which is passed in the API call, than what is configured for the Triggered Send.

Getting help from Marketing Cloud Support

• If you need help from Support regarding SOAP API Issues, Marketing Cloud Support will request the entire SOAP Envelope in order to replicate the issue. This SOAP Envelope should include both the submitted Request, as well as the response received from the Marketing Cloud System.
• If you use a PHP, .NET, or Java platform, the SOAP Envelope can be retrieved when requested by Support.
