The Transaction Journal Execution Business API lets you process transactions in real time
as soon as members make a transaction. You can integrate the Connect API with apps that
generate transactions for a sale or service.

In the API, ensure that you enter values for all Transaction Journal fields that are used in
the loyalty program process that processes the transaction journal. You can provide the
details of multiple transactions in the API. Along with the required fields of Transaction
Journal, enter the necessary value in the Journal Type field for every transaction. If program
processes in your org also filter incoming transactions by journal subtype, enter the required
value in the Journal Subtype field.
When the API receives transaction data, it creates unique Transaction Journal records for
each transaction. Next, based on the journal type and subtype of each incoming transaction
journal, the API triggers loyalty program processes. For each transaction journal, only active
processes with matching journal type and subtype are triggered. After the transaction journal
is processed, its status changes to Processed.
The points balances of members that are associated with the transaction journals are updated
as soon as points are either credited to or debited from the member. You don't have to turn on
the settings to update points balances in real time.
