Transactional attributes are special contact fields that store information related to individual transactions or interactions with your contacts.
What Are Transactional Attributes?
Unlike standard contact fields that store general information (like name or email), transactional attributes capture data about specific actions or events, such as:
Purchase details – Order numbers, amounts, product names
Transaction dates – When a purchase or action occurred
Order status – Pending, completed, shipped, delivered
Invoice numbers – Unique transaction identifiers
Payment methods – How the customer paid
How They Differ from Regular Attributes
Regular Attributes:
Store static information (Company, Job Title, Phone)
Typically have one value per contact
Change infrequently
Transactional Attributes:
Store event-specific data
Can have multiple values over time
Update with each new transaction
Common Use Cases
E-commerce
Track purchase history, order amounts, and product preferences to send relevant follow-ups and recommendations.
SaaS Businesses
Monitor subscription renewals, plan upgrades, and account activity for targeted communications.
Service Providers
Record appointment dates, service types, and booking references for timely reminders and confirmations.
Using Transactional Attributes
You can add transactional data when importing contacts or updating them via the API. This information helps you:
Send order confirmations and shipping updates
Trigger abandoned cart emails
Create post-purchase follow-up campaigns
Segment customers by purchase behavior
