This plugin makes it easy to display the featured images of your posts in mailchimp RSS newsletters.
Once activated this plugin will add the following to your sites default rss feed:
To the rss name space declarations:
<pre><code> xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"
</code></pre>
To each individual item (if it has a featured image):
<pre><code><media:content url="[url]" type="[mimetype]" medium="image" width="100%" height="auto">
 <media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[title]]></media:description>
</media:content>
</code></pre>
The featured images are not inserted directly into the content of your posts, so you have full control over where and how to present them. 
If you send out newsletters using a Mailchimp RSS based Campaign, simply place the *|RSSITEM:IMAGE|* merge-tag in your mail template where you want the featured image inserted.
This plugin contains
<ul>
<li>100% clean lightweight code.</li>
<li>0% JS</li>
<li>0% CSS</li>
<li>0% options</li>
</ul>
The plugin uses the hooks ‘rss2_ns’ and ‘rss2_item’, part of the WordPress core API. 
Tested with WP 3.7.1 and MailChimp Dec 2013

Did you find this plugin helpful? Please consider <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/send-emails-with-mandrill/" rel="ugc">leaving a 5-star review</a>.
Note: This is a forked version of the now unsupported <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/" rel="ugc">wpMandrill</a> 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 <a href="https://github.com/Miller-Media/send-emails-with-mandrill" rel="nofollow ugc">Send Emails With Mandrill on GitHub</a>
This plugin uses <a href="http://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">Mandrill API</a> 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:
<ol>
<li>The simplest option: Install it, configure it, and Send Emails with Mandrill will start sending your emails through Mandrill.</li>
<li>If you need to fine tune certain emails, you can change any email by creating a filter for the mandrill_payload hook.</li>
<li>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</li>
</ol>
Enable the connection by entering a valid API key in the settings page or adding the line <code>define('SEWM_API_KEY', '{YOUR_API_KEY}')</code> your site’s wp-config.php file.
Spanish translation available.

Send Emails with Mandrill

This was a super useful plugin that Mandrill/MailChimp stopped supporting, so glad to see it being actively supported again!

Great to see this plugin revived!

Really good. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the initiative to fork the unsupported plugin and get it working with modern PHP.

Thank you for supporting the plugin

Great that this plugin got a second life! It beats tons of other SMTP plugins trying to support mandrill. It needs a few updates to be fully PHP7.4 compatible and it would be great to have a few extra options (thing return_path_domain etc). On that note: I can help if that would in this great effort!?

Thanks, can I help ?


I am very happy with it, using it on 150 sites.


Great plugin
