Purpose of Delivery Mode = Description in External Account

[archit_trp]

Can you help point me to the documentation around various values of Delivery Modes that can be selected while creating an routing account for Email? Thanks!

[Darren_Bowers]

There is a small amount of help text in the nms:delivery schema on this enumeration

Sorry I don't have much other information to refer to  - maybe someone else has some documentation on how these actually work

<enumeration basetype="byte" default="bulk" label="Delivery mode" name="deliveryMode">
    <help>Mode used for the delivery of messages.</help>
    <value desc="Declaration of a delivery not performed by the platform itself."
           label="External" name="external" value="0"/>
    <value desc="Campaign delivery." label="Bulk delivery" name="bulk" value="1"/>
    <value desc="Description of a non-executable delivery." label="Description" name="descriptive"
           value="2"/>
    <value desc="Delivery through a remote Adobe Campaign platform (mid-sourcing)."
           label="Mid-sourcing" name="midSourcing" value="4"/>
  </enumeration>

Hi @archit_trp,

Here are the documentations on Routing External Account and configuring email channel for external account routing.

Kindly go through these and let us know if this helps or if you need more information.

Hi Sukrity, the documentation does not specify what the Delivery Mode = Description actually does or why you would use it. There is some information on the other Delivery Modes but this one doesn't have any detail on it. Thanks Darren

Hi Archit,

This enum is present in nms:delievry schema and a link name as deliveryProvider with nms:extAccount . I could not find much details for this field in any of the documentation

Type of delievryMode you can select are below

( https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/campaign-standard/using/developing/datamodel/datamodel-delive... )

* Description mode is generally used for non executable deliveries
* Mid-Sourcing - If you sending Email/SMS using mid sourcing
* Bulk Delivery - https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/campaign-classic/using/sending-messages/sending-messages-on-m...

Thanks,
Kapil

Kapil, this does not tell us what Bulk delivery mode means for an email
