Soap call using Message center

[vendimb15716755]

HI

I am trying to use the SOAP UI to test the message center email. The soap call goes fine and I get back the Id from the event when I test .there is no email going out and the events are marked as Pending. Any Idea what I am missing? When I test the template to send proof it works fine

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:nms:rtEvent">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <urn:PushEvent>

         <urn:sessiontoken>___7cedba79-c6ad-43c9-a367-5c228b698035</urn:sessiontoken>

         <urn:domEvent>

       <rtEvent xmlns=""  type="tstThankYouForRegisteringRecipient" email="test@gmail.com"

wishedChannel="email" externalId="1234">

<ctx>

        <website name="ecomerce" url="http:www.gmail.com"/>

        <customer email="test@gmail.com" firstName="test" lastName="test"/>

      </ctx>

      </rtEvent>

</urn:domEvent>

      </urn:PushEvent>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>
