Mandrill integration
Send unique codes through Mandrill
Keep your Mandrill templates and delivery setup. Coupon Carrier assigns the coupon code, voucher link, QR code, or barcode before Mandrill sends the email.
Why use Coupon Carrier with Mandrill?
Mandrill sends the email. Coupon Carrier assigns the unique code.
Mandrill is good at getting transactional email out the door. It does not decide which code each person should receive, create one-use voucher links, generate QR/barcode values, or track redemption. Coupon Carrier does that work before Mandrill sends the message.
Give each recipient a different code
Stop the same code from going out twice
Add QR codes or barcodes to Mandrill templates
