<p><strong>Did you find this plugin helpful?</strong> Please consider <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/send-emails-with-mandrill/" rel="ugc">leaving a 5-star review</a>.</p>
<p>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></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You can also use your own templates that have been added to your MailChimp account and shared with your Mandrill account.</p>
<p>There are a few levels of integrations between your WordPress installation and this plugin:</p>
<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 <strong>mandrill_payload</strong> 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: <strong>wpMandrill::mail</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Spanish translation available.</p>
<h3>Request</h3>
<p>If you find that a part of this plugin isn’t working, please don’t simply click the WordPress “It’s broken” button. Let us know what’s broken in <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/send-emails-with-mandrill/" rel="ugc">its support forum</a> so we can make it better. Our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCTlonSwePs" rel="nofollow ugc">mind-reading device</a> still needs some tweaking.</p>
<h3>Localizations</h3>
<p>Send Emails with Mandrill is currently localized in the following languages:</p>
<ul>
<li>Spanish (es_ES)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Daily statistics will show data for the first 20 senders (emails) registered.</li>
<li>Daily statistics will show data for the first 40 tags registered.</li>
</ul>
<p>If your account has more than 20 senders registered or more than 40 tags used, the detailed daily statisticas might show incompleted data.</p>


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.

<p>Connect SendGrid for Emails is a third-party fork of (and a drop-in replacement for) the official SendGrid plugin. This plugin is not endorsed by or affiliated with SendGrid. This plugin connects to an external service (the SendGrid API).</p>
<p>The Connect SendGrid for Emails plugin replaces WordPress’s default wp_mail() function by using either an SMTP or API integration with SendGrid to send outgoing email from your WordPress installation. It also allows you to upload contacts directly to your SendGrid Marketing Campaigns account via a subscription widget.</p>
<p>By using the Connect SendGrid for Emails plugin, you will be able to take advantage of improved deliverability and an expanded feature set, including tracking and analytics, to enhance user engagement on your WordPress installation.</p>
<h4>The Subscription Widget</h4>
<p>The WordPress Subscription Widget makes it easy for people visiting your WordPress site to subscribe to your marketing emails, such as any newsletters, announcements, or promotional offers you may send. Upon signup, they’ll automatically receive an opt-in email allowing them to confirm their desire to begin receiving your emails. This confirmation constitutes “double opt-in,” a deliverability best practice.</p>
<h4>Multisite</h4>
<p>If you are using the Connect SendGrid for Emails plugin in a Multisite environment, you need to Network Activate it. You can then access the settings page on the network dashboard and the configure settings will be used for all sites.</p>
<p>You can enable access for SendGrid settings to each subsite in the Multisite Settings tab. If the checkbox is unchecked then that site will not see the SendGrid settings page and it will use the settings set on the network.<br />
Warning! When you activate SendGrid management for a subsite, that site will not be able to send emails until the admin updates the SendGrid settings on that subsite.</p>
<p>If you already had the plugin installed in a Multisite environment and you update to versions after 1.9.0 you may need to reconfigure your plugin.</p>


Connect SendGrid for Emails


I spent long hours looking for a solution to send emails on my restricted hosting account. Out of despair, I tried all the plugins in the repository that modified the wp_mail() function (incl. plugins with millions of installations) but none of the commercial plugins out there come even closer to what this simple but effective plugin provides! I was able to connect to sendgrid for seconds, just adding api key and sender's address. Plugin supports multisite (free versions of other commercial plugins lacking this) and had all the options I needed, e.g. not showing the plugin settings on a single instance.
