Essential tool for automating our Transactional and Event triggered campaigns in Mailchimp!
Was gefällt dir am besten?
Integrated nicely within Mailchimp to be able to use templates and send directly to mandrill to be updated in the campaigns. Easy to set-up and good testing interface. Possibility to track and get an overview of running campaigns.
Was gefällt dir nicht?
Some aspects that could be improved: having an unsubscribe/opt-out button per campaign in Mandrill instead of unsubscribing from the overall mailing list: some users still wish to receive certain emails but unsubscribing from our mandrill campaigns removes them fully from all other campaigns. The tracking of opening rate in the reporting seems to double-count opens per user e.g. can have an open rate of over 100% if users open their emails multiple times. It's possible to change the settings for this but find this an odd default setting in the reporting. It's the same between Mailchimp and Mandrill so maybe just an integration default when they were merged.
Welche Probleme löst du mit dem Produkt?
Mandrill really helps us a lot in being able to automate our event-based and transactional email campaigns. Being able to send out campaigns based on user-actions and certain events being triggered is essential for us and we found the tag-based approach in Mailchimp a bit clunky. Being able to integrate Mandrill directly with our Mailchimp templates and campaigns has saved us a lot of time and effort and required little engineering work to get started. Also the documentation available meant the set-up process ran smoothly including connecting domains.
