# Mandrill (Mailchimp Transactional)

### Get Your Mailchimp API Key

> 💡 **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](https://mandrillapp.com/settings/sending-options).
* 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](https://mandrillapp.com/settings/sending-domains), 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.
