Mandrill

Mandrill is a Mailchimp add-on, and an easy-to-use transnational email service. Currently, we can connect it to zapier, and send payment receipt emails through it.

Step 1: Draft Email in Mailchimp & Export to Mandrill

• Go to Campaigns → Email templates → Create template
• Follow the steps and draft your email. Tip: use the format *|FIELD|* to include merge fields. Follow this mailchimp help article if you want to create new merge fields.
• After finishing the design, save and exit, and click Send to Mandrill in the drop-down

Step 2: Adjust Template in Mandrill

• Open Mandrill, and go to Templates
• Select the one to send, and send a test to yourself to make sure the format looks good. This might require some changes to the HTML code. Reach out to ??? if you need help.

Step 3: Set Up Zapier

• Follow the steps from this article to set up the "when this happens..." part.
• Add a "do this..." part. Choose "Mandrill" and "Send Template".

• Proceed to Choose Account
• Proceed to Customize Send Template and add the incoming data to corresponding merge fields. There is no significant difference between Template Variables & Merge Fields, but simply because both are required, make sure to put some fields in each of them.

Step 4: Test & Done!

• Test it, turn on the zapier, and enjoy the magic of automation! Now your email receipt will send automatically every time a payment comes in.
