Creating a Mandrill service

Connecting to Web Services

Tested sending an email via Mandrill’s API also. No issues calling /messages/send.json according to their API docs.

  1. Configured Remote Web Service:

  2. Called POST /rest/mandrillapi/messages/send.json with the following body:

     {
 "key": "hYn7IsUYWE7H6UlIfT_OEr",
 "message": {
     "html": "<p>Here is some text in the body.</p>",
     "subject": "This email was sent from DreamFactory",
     "from_email": "sender@dreamfactory.com",
     "from_name": "Jeffrey's DreamFactory",
     "to": [
         {
             "email": "recipient@dreamfactory.com",
             "name": "Jeffrey",
             "type": "to"
         }
     ]
   }
 }

  3. Received the following response:

     [
    {
 	"email": "recipient@dreamfactory.com",
 	"status": "sent",
 	"_id": "45a30d2f8a5044618d40a8d24d7457b3",
 	"reject_reason": null
    }
 ]

The record of sending this email via the API is found in my Mandrill Dashboard.

Now I’ll try calling /users/ping2.json.
