Sandbox Creation Now Copies Automated Transactional Emails

What it is

When you create a sandbox, automated transactional emails are now copied along with any workflows or segments that reference them, and Deploy to Production is supported for new transactional emails as well. This moved to live after running in development earlier in the month. Sandboxes require an Enterprise subscription with the Sandboxes add-on, and testing this specific feature requires the Transactional Email add-on.

Why it matters

If transactional emails run through your workflows, you previously had to rebuild them and their dependent assets by hand every time you spun up a sandbox. Copying them across, with the workflows and segments that rely on them, lets you test that whole path without recreating it first. It is one more piece of the steady, worthwhile project of bringing sandboxes to parity with production.
