Mandrill, a transactional email API for Mailchimp, empowers developers to easily send personalized, one-to-one e-commerce emails, or automated transactional emails. With Pipedream, you can harness Mandrill's capabilities to create powerful automations that trigger on various events, like updating databases on email delivery, syncing with CRM systems when users interact with your emails, or even conducting sentiment analysis on email content for customer support insights.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mandrill: {
type: "app",
app: "mandrill",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"key": `${this.mandrill.$auth.api_key}`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/users/ping`,
data,
})
},
})
User Onboarding Sequence: Trigger an onboarding email sequence in Mandrill whenever a new user signs up through your app. Use Pipedream to listen for new sign-ups, then employ Mandrill to dispatch a series of welcome emails, tips, and resources over their first few weeks.
Support Ticket Update Notifications: Integrate Mandrill with a support ticketing system like Zendesk. Whenever a support ticket is updated or closed, use Pipedream to send a summary email through Mandrill, keeping the user informed of their support ticket status in real-time.
E-commerce Order Confirmations: Combine Mandrill with Shopify to automate order confirmation emails. When a customer completes a purchase, Pipedream can detect the new order event from Shopify and prompt Mandrill to send a tailored confirmation email with order details, shipment tracking, and more.
Mandrill uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Mandrill account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Mandrill APIs in both code and no-code steps.
