Short answer

How can I use AI to send transactional messages?

You tell your AI client to trigger a specific Listrak message based on a customer event. Your agent then uses the connected tools to send that email or SMS immediately. You get instant communication without manually logging into a dashboard.

The outcomes.

Where your messages land.

Depending on your prompt, the AI handles the delivery or flags a manual step.

SMS
