“Message” Object

Within any Zephyr context, the messageobject contains a number of useful pieces of data about the current transactional email message. This object is intended for use with Triggers that require a custom Zephyr script. Note that the message object applies only to a sent email, so it would refer to the first transactional email that hosts the trigger. (Note that a trigger is second transactional that exists on the template of the first transactional.)

Triggers are also available through our API. See the trigger call. Here is a sample message object:

{         
   "template" : "DC-template" ,         
   "sample" : "A",
   "revision_id" : 131152 ,         
   "send_time" : 1311284816 ,         
   "click_time" : 1301384816 ,         
   "open_time" : 1301394816 ,         
   "purchase_time" : 1309366347,         
   "clicks": [                 
           {                         
                "ts": 1309366347,                         
                "ip": "75.214.213.71"                   
            },
