Mandrill (Mailchimp Transactional)

Follow these steps to connect StatusPal with Mandrill (Mailchimp Transactional) and get notifications working:

Get Your Mailchimp API Key

• Log in to Mandrill

• Go to Settings → SMTP & API Info.

• Add a + New API Key and copy the generated key — you will need it in StatusPal.

💡 Tip: Label your API key clearly in Mandrill (e.g. “StatusPal Integration”) so you can revoke it later if needed.

Review Mandrill Sending Defaults

Before enabling the integration, verify that your Mandrill Sending Defaults match your organization’s privacy policy.

• Log in to Mandrill.

• Go to Settings → Sending Defaults.

• Review the available options, paying close attention to:

  • Expose the List of Recipients When Sending to Multiple Addresses

    • If checked, all recipients will see the full list of other recipients in the email.

Configure this setting according to your desired privacy behavior before using the integration.

Configure the Integration in StatusPal

• Log in to your StatusPal Dashboard.

• Open the status page where you need to create the integration.

• Go to Integrations and install the Mailchimp Transactional (Mandrill) integration.

• Paste your API Key

• Enter your "Email from address" based on your authenticated sending domain, then click Create.

Once configured, your Mandrill integration will be active. Notifications from StatusPal will be sent using your authenticated domain and according to your Mandrill sending defaults.

💡 Tip: Test the integration with a sample incident to make sure everything is working as expected before going live.
