Summary
If passing a NULL value to a required field in a payload to the transactional API endpoint /messaging/v1/email/messages a blank value will be recorded.
Repro
1.) Create new Transactional Journey
2.) Configure a Triggered Send Data Extension with a required field
3.) Assign Triggered Send Data Extension to email definition in Journey
4.) Send payload such as
{
"definitionKey": "2FA_order_accounts1",
"recipient": {
"to": "emailaddress@gmail.com",
"contactKey": "sampleKey",
"attributes": {
"TestField":null --> (required field)
}
}
}
5.) Note blank value in TestField
Workaround
Avoid sending NULL value in payload
