I generally use mail chimp for creating email campaigns and running them for the lead generation, promotions, conducting webinars, and use for our prospective customers. It is easy to use and has a variety of themes and types of campaigns to choose from. The best of the tool is we can easily get the output of the campaign which helps us to choose which plan can be stuck on.

Kindful is a donor management system (CRM) for nonprofits. Therefore, customers can set up automatic confirmation emails to be sent to their donors, setup acknowledgment emails to thank donors for their gifts, send out emailed tax summaries at the end of the year and also send internal scheduled reports. Mandrill is the internal emailing system we use to send all of these types of emails within our platform.

We use the MailChimp service known as Mandrill in our software that is used by our customers. It is the service that the software uses to send alerts to our customers' customers. It solves the issue of the customers having to provide their own email sending services.

We use Mandrill for real-time transactional emails from a backend SAAS platform. We use Mailchimp Templates to create highly formatted emails with custom triggers and variable content fields then deploy the templates to Mandrill, where they are actively used for sending thousands of emails to our users every day. We send about 200,000 real-time emails every month to active users.

In my company, this software is required for marketing purposes, and our marketing team uses it extensively. On some occasions, our sales team also uses its services to communicate with our clients regarding real estate projects. This software helps us in transactional email campaigns.

Mandrill is used in our company as our main SMTP relay service to send all our automatic notifications for portals and applications. It helps us to track and control, in a very detailed way, all the different portal interactions with end users.

We have used Mandrill for our internal email sending and also transactional emails. We have it wired up to our CRM and it has always been a trustworthy solution for sending emails. Mandrill has a great user interface and developer experience with integrations into many other online and web solutions. Even though we started using it when it was free, we decided to remain on the platform during and after the transition to paid because we were so comfortable and tied to their platform.

We use Madrill for automated email sending from internal and external resources generated by task and actions in our software service. If we need to send someone a password reset email, the action is carried out by Mandrill once the request has been made. This also allows for our team to track the emails sent as well. There are a number of functions that our software provides that include email sending. Mandrill gets this done and gives us eyes on delivery and receiving.

Mandrill has a great API that allowed our microservice based system to enable email communication on a transactional basis. Tools to monitor and debug as well as consistent availablity made it a great solution for third party email functionality.

Mandrill is used 100% by our engineering department. Most everyone else probably doesn't know what it is or how it works, unless they've heard engineers talking about it.

Our use-case for mandrill is to send transactional e-mails to users as needed across our several platforms. Examples would be email invitations to resources in our application, forgot password/password reset requests, individual account updates and alerts, etc. We also use it to send higher volume marketing messages that are triggered by specific actions taken on our properties. Mandrill makes it easy to integrate to your existing software and send these types of emails quickly.

Our business used Mandrill as an outbound email infrastructure for our entire organization. Our primary use case was as a robust transactional email platform for sending notifications and newsletters to new and existing users. We used the Mandrill API and SMTP services and integrated them in with Wordpress and a custom-built form engine to send messages to users and internally to our own team as notifications. Mandrill replaced a free but flaky transactional email platform with one that was much more reliable and easy to troubleshoot and report on.

Mandrill is the platform we use to send Cart Recovery and other transactional emails for clients who use MailChimp. Prior to its integration directly into the MailChimp account, we used it for clients across Email Service Providers. Depending on the level of service, this could be implementation of Mandrill, usage assistance/education, or even direct control of the account and campaigns on behalf of the client.
