VFA Admin Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Right now, you can use Mandrill for sending all the emails that comes off of IP.Board. Any thoughts to add SendGrid in this line up as well. It is one of the power house service providers for transactional email. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmi Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 This one is a bit older but i'd just second that. Especially as Mandrill is pushing users out of their house currently with their new strategy it would be quite interesting to have other options. For now I'm just using SMTP for sendgrid but making use of their HTTP API would of course be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmi Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hmm I wonder why there's a single service inserted as a replacement instead of just integrating the most popular ones. Are the API differences that big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I don't think it's that but I do know that it was something that IPS put a lot of effort into figuring out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Lindy Posted April 6, 2016 Management Share Posted April 6, 2016 We're not generally interested in maintaining integration with multiple providers that do the same thing and having to maintain their API changes, etc. We chose Sparkpost because it seems to be the one clients were pushing for most; they were also the most responsive to my inquiries, so we opted for that. I would think others should be possible via third party add ons or, as you've noted, straight SMTP configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgin Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Sparkpost runs a support slack that you can join and talk to the devs directly almost 24/7. They are super passionate about e-mail (freakishly so). I got great vibes when talking to them when I switched from Mandrill. I think it's the right choice for your average IPS admin. People who need more than what Sparkpost offers are likely capable of figuring out their own integration it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had problems with my send volume, but i was paying $5/month to have enough limit on mandrill. Also never had this kind of issue with them I might have too many bounces, im not sure about it.
