I am currently playing around with Mailchimp's APIs, but the documentation to me is not very clear. Here is what I actually want:Have the templates I created on Mailchimp, be visible on my own server.Assign each template I made to a specific action (logged in,subscribed, created order, or new password).  This is functionality that I already tested with Mandrill, but the template exists on mandrill's account.If option 1 is not possible, can I still make my own template in my own environment, and send that template out over Mailchimp or Mandrill?Should I use Mailchimps services for this or send the email directly from my own server?Curent used function:  function tep_mandrill_mail($to_name, $to_email_address, $email_subject, $email_text, $from_email_name, $from_email_address) {    if (SEND_EMAILS != 'true') return false;$uri = 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send-template.json';$postString = '{key: xxxxxxxxxxx,    template_name: sometemplatename,    template_content: [        {            name: header,            content: *|HEADERSTUFF|*        },        {            name: main,            content: *|CONTENTSTUFF|*        },        {            name: footer,            content: *|FOOTERSTUFF|*        }    ],    message: {        subject: '.$email_subject.',        from_email: '.$from_email_adress.',        from_name: '.$from_email_name.',        to: [            {                email: '.$to_email_address.',                name: '.$to_name.'            }        ],        important: false,        track_opens: true,        merge: true,  merge_vars: [            {                rcpt: '.$to_email_address.',                vars: [                    {                        name: HEADERSTUFF,                        content: '.$email_subject.'                     },                     {                        name: CONTENTSTUFF,                        content: '.$email_text.'                    },                     {                        name: FOOTERSTUFF,                        content: paulvale-foot                    }                   ]            }        ],              tags: [            password_forgotten        ]    },    async: false,    ip_pool: Main Pool}';$ch = curl_init();curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $uri);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true );curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postString);curl_exec($ch);  }
Can Mailchimp APIs be used to send templated transaction email triggered by actions on my website?
