We all hate spam, but sometimes you need to get an important message out to a large group of people. Mandrill is great at allowing you to define templates, sending emails out, and keeping track of sends and responses. But how do you get the data from your database over to Mandrill quickly and easily? That's where MandrillMerge comes in...
- An intuitive interface that guides you through the process
- Connection to Mandrill via your test or production Mandrill API keys
- Connection to your Database (MySQL only so far)
- A prompt for what columns you need to select from your DB, to fill the placeholders in your chosen template
- A view of the data returned from your DB
- Sends a test email to Mandrill (if you choose a test Mandrill API key) or to a single email address you enter (if you choose a production Mandrill API key)
- Retrieved data is sent to Mandrill in batches for mass email sending
- History of your chosen API keys, templates and SQL queries
- Preview of emails that will be sent, in your browser
- CI server
Still very much a work in progress (see above).
