We need to send single mail using MailChimp. Is there any provision in MailChimp to send mail without creating list.
According to my understanding we need to :
Create campaign
create list
Map list to campaign
So in case of say successful registration, do we need to follow these steps to send single mail or is there some workaround to avoid these many api calls.
Any help appreciated.
The Mandrill product (part of MailChimp) is intended for those kinds of one off emails. They call them "transactional" emails since they are based on the user's action.

I'm using "spatie/laravel-newsletter" to subscribe users on signup. That is working fine. But now we need to send email to users when they purchase anything from our website.
I'm not able to find a way how can we send emails like we are currently sending from Laravel code using Gmail account from MailChimp.
Any lead would be helpful, what needs to be done on MailChimp dashboard side, what package of laravel might be useful and how we can send emails with it. Thanks!
Please find the below link for and E-commerce store trigger email, which show mailchimp will automatically sends an email when customer purchases a product.
https://mailchimp.com/help/all-the-classic-automation-triggers/#heading+e-commerce
It also has all sorts of trigger, which will automatically send email. Choose which best suits your requirement.
The spatie/newsletter package is only to send marketing emails from your laravel application. Mailchimp offers a separate PHP library https://github.com/mailchimp/mailchimp-transactional-php that can be used to send transactional emails using Mailchimp.
The documentation on this package should show you exactly what you need to do on the Mailchimp Dashboard and how you configure your app to send an email through Mailchimp
Transactional Emails are emails that you send that are event based (purchases, user registrations, etc).
Promotional emails like Newsletters are part of marketing emails.
I hope that clarifies and helps with your email configuration on your Laravel application.
Is there a way to send an email message to multiple recipients just making one call to AWS? I want the recipient to only see their email address as the only address in the to field.
There is no mention of anything like that in the documentation. The other alternative I've think of is using an almighty loop.The problem with this is that if I have 100 recpients I need to make 100 calls to the API.
I solved with the SendBulkTemplatedEmail API operation.

Iam planning to send daily notification mails to my website users using Mandrill with PHP. I have some list of users in mailchimp lists and my database also. Now Iam following the method as sail in this link : http://lvsclasses.blogspot.in/2013/12/mandrill-api-to-send-mails-with.html. I tried to send mails as prescribed and it is working fine. But Iam not able to implement for loop based conditions for displaying the contents and also dont know hoow to send this mail to mailchimp lists.

Present I am using Sendgrid for sending transnational emails after donating/ registering the user. and Constant Contact for sending news letters to subscribed users in my website.
I want to use only one server for both.
Is there any possibility to send transnational emails using Constant Contact.
I have already searched in developer.constantcontact website. But there is no exact solution. In that they given api for adding emails to list in campaign. and creating campaign and sending email to all users in that list.
Is there any possibility to send email notification to registered/donated user immedieately without creating Campaign.
Please hemp me.
No.
You'll need to use something like Mandrill by MailChimp for transactional emails. Maybe CC will add support at some point, but I wouldn't count on it.
I am using Sendgrid for mass-mailing. I use multiple categories for different emails, after sending the email I want to get all the responses of the email which is sent at Sendgrid side through the API used for sending the mail.
I am getting response of opening the email but exactly which email is opened that I'm not getting. I want to keep track of each email; is there any need to create common parameters on our server side?
To view stats on individual emails, you can use the Email Activity page, but that only gives you a week's worth of data due to log rotation. There is currently no pull API for this data.
To gather this data programmatically and store it, SendGrid provides an Event Webhook that will push events to a URL you define in near real-time.
If you still want to associate custom parameters with individual emails, that can be done using Unique Arguments
Yes, there is a way to do this by using unigue_args parameter. A built-in option would be to use category parameter. You can then add this tag when sending out the email via server side.
<php? $hdr->setCategory('Bounce Notice'); ?>
This would be the returned format.
{
"category": "Example Category"
}
I have been building [a repo][2] with a working example of the event notification API which stores information into a local databae. This process will log any of the following: delivered, bounced, delayed, clicked, etc. SendGrid will post events to a script of your choosing via the Apps section in your account.
