Mandrill mail events integration

Mandrill mail events integration

This module logs Mandrill email messages events.

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

• Define an STMP server in Odoo at Settings > Technical > Email > Outgoing Mail Servers using Mandrill credentials from Mandrill settings panel (Settings > SMTP & API Credentials)

• Define a webhook in Mandrill settings panel (Settings > Webhooks) with several triggers (Message Is Sent, Message Is Delayed, …) and ‘Post to URL’ like https://your_odoodomain.com/mandrill/event

• Copy Webhook key and paste in your Odoo configuration file, in ‘options’ section, using ‘mandrill_webhook_key’ variable. This is optional, but recommended because it is used to validate Mandrill POST requests

Usage

When any email message is sent via Mandrill SMTP server, Odoo will add some metadata to email (Odoo DB, Odoo Model and Odoo Model record ID) using an special SMTP header (X-MC-Metadata). More info at Mandrill doc: Using Custom Message Metadata

Then when an event occurs related with that message (sent, open, click, bounce, …) Mandrill will trigger webhook configured and Odoo will log the message and the event.

In ‘Setting > Technical > Email > Mandrill emails’ you can see all messages sent using Mandrill. When clicking in one of them you’ll see message details and events related with it

In ‘Setting > Technical > Email > Mandrill events’ you can see all Mandrill events received

Known issues / Roadmap

• Define actions associated with events like open/click or bounce (via configuration or via other addon)

• Create another addon ‘mass_mailing_mandrill’ (inheriting from mass_mailing and this addon) to process bounces like mass_mailing addon does
