[Mandrill] Madrill account with funds required

Robbie Nati

Question

Hi Justin,

I was receiving the following error with the Mandrill integration:

MESSAGE: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
RESPONSE: {"status":"error","code":10,"name":"PaymentRequired","message":"Email scheduling is only available for accounts with a positive balance."}

I have not set a value for the Send_At input variable, thus not scheduling the email. I have noticed on the API documentation that you are charged for a scheduled email:

send_atstring

when this message should be sent as a UTC timestamp in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format. If you specify a time in the past, the message will be sent immediately. An additional fee applies for scheduled email, and this feature is only available to accounts with a positive balance.

Validation: datetime

After adding funds to my Mandrill account, the API started working.

Note: You are not charged for any email transactions (unless the email has been scheduled for a later date/time). You just need some credit in your account for this integration to work.

That makes sense. If you want, you can edit the underlying .NET code to not use the scheduled date/time field, which will probably remove that requirement completely.

Hi Guys I'm trying to use this component but I always receive this error message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. There's something to setup like server of mandrill or anything. I just fill properties and Try to Send. Thanks for help.

Hi vu tai you can edit extension just comment line:

new JProperty("send_at", ssSend_At.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")),

in method MssSend, this property only can be fill if you have a paid account. If you do this everything works.
