Data selection

Event data: here you can choose between
- No event data — In this case the message behaves as a normal message.
- transactional data — Select this option to make the message available to create Transactional Journeys from. By selecting the option, the message is marked as a transactional message, transactional data can be defined and used and the message will only be available for use in a Transactional Journey.
- Custom event — When Custom Events have been defined for the selected audience, the marketer can use the data in the Custom Event to personalize the message that will be used afterward in a Custom Journey triggered by the Custom Events. Messages using Custom Events data can only be used in event-driven journeys. Note that Custom Events data used to personalize the message are not visible in the preview of the message.

Channel endpoint

MMS Channel Endpoint — Select the MMS endpoint to use for this MMS message. When multiple MMS endpoints are defined for an organization, you can select one from the drop-down. The selected endpoint defines which operator will be used to send out the MMS.
Example: When companies operate in multiple countries with different operators, they often need different MMS providers (and thus endpoints) to send out the MMS messages. By using multiple endpoints in one organization it is possible to send out MMS using different providers.

3. Click Create MMS when done. The MMS content Design canvas appears where you can define the message to be sent.
