Send a transactional email using a Mandrill template.

## Setup and use

Create or select a published Mailchimp Transactional template. Configure a verified sender and a recipient in **Send the template email** in Open Flow or **Mandrill** in n8n. The example template name is `welcomeemailv2`; change it to a template in your account. Bind the API key as the secret Variable **MANDRILL\_API\_KEY** in Open Flow or connect a Mandrill credential in n8n. Run manually.

## Behavior

Each run sends one template email. Open Flow returns the recipient and the provider’s status; n8n returns the provider response. A `sent` or `queued` status does not prove inbox delivery; `rejected` and `invalid` require attention. If a request fails or its result is unknown, check the Transactional account before retrying to avoid a duplicate message. Restrict access to execution history because it contains recipient data.

## Changes to the source

*   Replace example addresses with configuration and use a secret API key with the same Transactional template endpoint in Open Flow.
