Core

var config = {
    TriggeredSendDefinition: 123456,
    Attributes : {
        FirstName: "John",
        Language: "EN"
    },
    Subscriber : {
        EmailAddress: "example@mail.com",
        SubscriberKey: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3"
    }
}

var tsd = TriggeredSend.Init(config.TriggeredSendDefinition);

var result = tsd.Send(config.Subscriber, config.Attributes);

<script runat="server">

    Platform.Load("core", "1");
	
	try {

        var config = {
            TriggeredSendDefinition: 123456,
            Attributes : {
                FirstName: "John",
                Language: "EN"
            },
            Subscriber : {
                EmailAddress: "example@mail.com",
                SubscriberKey: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3"
            }
        }

        var tsd = TriggeredSend.Init(config.TriggeredSendDefinition);
        
		var result = tsd.Send(config.Subscriber, config.Attributes);

        Write(Stringify(result));
		
	} catch(error) {

        Write(Stringify(error));
        
    }

WSProxy

var api = new Script.Util.WSProxy();

var config = {

                }
