SentWatch – vs Send

Did you find this plugin helpful? Please consider leaving a 5-star review. Note: This is a forked version of the now unsupported wpMandrill plugin. The notes below are copied over from the original plugin and will be updated as relevant updates become available. Please help by contributing to the GitHub repository Send Emails With Mandrill on GitHub This plugin uses Mandrill API to send outgoing emails, with or without attachments, from your WordPress installation. It replaces the wp_mail function included with WordPress. Emails are tracked and automatically tagged for statistics within the Mandrill Dashboard. You can also add general tags to every email sent, as well as particular tags based on selected emails defined by your requirements. You can also use your own templates that have been added to your MailChimp account and shared with your Mandrill account. There are a few levels of integrations between your WordPress installation and this plugin: The simplest option: Install it, configure it, and Send Emails with Mandrill will start sending your emails through Mandrill. If you need to fine tune certain emails, you can change any email by creating a filter for the mandrill_payload hook. For further customization, we’ve exposed a function that allows you to send emails from within your plugins, instead of the regular wp_mail function: wpMandrill::mail Enable the connection by entering a valid API key in the settings page or adding the line define('SEWM_API_KEY', '{YOUR_API_KEY}') your site’s wp-config.php file. Spanish translation available. Request If you find that a part of this plugin isn’t working, please don’t simply click the WordPress “It’s broken” button.
