Real-World Example

Transactional Email automatically sends a receipt to customers within seconds of completing their online purchase.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

All provide APIs/SMTP to send triggered, one-to-one emails (receipts, password resets). AWS SES and OCI Email Delivery are dedicated email-sending services; Azure Communication Services Email provides similar capability within Azure. Google Cloud does not offer a first-party transactional email sending product; customers typically use third-party providers (e.g., SendGrid, Mailgun) on GCP.
