  • Einstein Engagement Frequency: With Einstein Engagement Frequency, marketers know exactly how many emails to send to customers in order to keep them engaged.

Transactional Messaging: There are two types of email and mobile messages that brands send to customers: promotional and transactional.

With Transactional Messaging now part of Marketing Cloud, customers can easily integrate transactional and promotional messages into the same campaign. Now, companies can understand the complete customer journey, ensure a single voice is being used for all messages and embed promotional content in transactional messages and vice versa.
