I’ve setup a velo trigger based automation which has the following example payload
{
“contactID”: “999999-2a85-4a0e-8dee-45195a759372”,
“city”: “Auckland”,
“firstName”: “Johne”,
“lastName”: “Doe”
}
even though the payload contains the contactID, there is no way we can send the subsequent email action to that particular contactID?
Am i missing something?
it does seem confusing when the payload already includes the contactID but the automation can’t directly use it for the email action. It might be a limitation in how Wix handles dynamic email triggers. You could try linking the contact data through a backend function that calls the triggered email API manually. Hopefully, Wix expands this functionality soon because it would make automations like yours much smoother and more efficient.
Yes, you need to first set the payload by clicking on the Velo code trigger and mark the field which has your contactId, then you can use it in subsequent actions in your automation.
Ah perfect! Knew I was missing something. Thanks mate.
