Mandrill --> Mailchimp announcement

[dajo_rodrigo]

Mandrill announced that Mandrill is becoming a Mailchimp add on.

Will the Mandrill - connector be affected by this? And if so, will this connector be updated in time and are any action from my side necessary?

Excellent question @dajo_rodrigo. We are looking into this as we speak.

Hi @dajo_rodrigo,

The vendor let us know that there should be no required changes on our API/connector due to this upcoming change for the Mandrill product.

So from our perspective, you should be fine, but you do want to be sure to follow through on your account to be upgraded to the MailChimp add on in time.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info!

I will migrate from Mandrillapp to Mailchimp (Long and tedious process by the way :( )

Hi @dajo_rodrigo. Let us know if you require any assistance!

Migration went fine, but the pricing @ Mailchimp is a complete disaster, it is 4 times the price that I used to pay.

Apparently they do not really value current Mandrillapp users.

I will switch over to Sendgrid (Which I already use anyway)

Had some issues with that, but I already planned a meeting with @roshan_gonsalko to fix that.

Many thanks so far!
