TOPIC: How do I set up Subaccounts?

I've set up a subaccount in my Mandrill control panel.

How do I assign/use that subaccount for a particular site from within Joomla (CMandrill) when in API mode?

Adam.

I think that when we wrote the extension there wasn't an option to send through a subaccount.
I had a look at the docs and to send from a subaccount one need to provide the subaccount that should be used with the send function.
So currently you can't use subaccount with CMandrill. I'll try to add this in the next release.

Daniel - many thanks. I thought it was me, simply not understanding the way things work. I've used Joomla since Mambo days, but only recently discovered Mandrill, so I've still a lot to learn.

It'd be really great to see CMandrill implement this, as I can't really use a single Mandrill account on multiple Joomla sites - as each client would see other clients' stats in their Dashboard.

Hey Adam,
Not sure if you've already seen it, but 4.0 supports subaccounts.

Thanks, Daniel - I'll take a look!

I'm still in "evaluation" mode - as I have to work my way through a few clients and get their feedback on how they see their newsletter/emailing strategy is going to work in the future. At the moment, they're using RSJoomla!'s RSMail (which has a fair degree of reporting as well). CMandrill works well with RSMail, so at least we can do a decent comparative test!

Hi Daniel, I've set up CMandrill to use a specific sub account but emails are not being recorded by Mandrillapp as using the sub account.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hey Chris,
No idea. Normally you should just select the subacocunt and we would sent through it. Are you sure that you've selected the subaccount. And do you perhaps have another site where you didn't select a subaccount so that mails get sent from the same api without the subaccount?
