Getting Started

Install-Package Mandrill.net

Building

dotnet build src/Mandrill.net
# if on mac/linux, you cannot build against the .net45 target:
# dotnet build src/Mandrill.net -f netstandard2.0

Testing

You must set the user environment variable MANDRILL_API_KEY in order to run these tests. Go to https://mandrillapp.com/ to obtain an api key.

In order for the email from address to match your allowed sending domains, you can set MANDRILL_SENDING_DOMAIN to match your account.

# include MANDRILL_API_KEY and MANDRILL_SENDING_DOMAIN in your env. For example:
# MANDRILL_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxx MANDRILL_SENDING_DOMAIN=acme.com dotnet test tests
dotnet test tests

Send a new transactional message through Mandrill

var api = new MandrillApi("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE");
var message = new MandrillMessage("from@example.com", "to@example.com",
                "hello mandrill!", "...how are you?");
var result = await api.Messages.SendAsync(message);

Send a new transactional message through Mandrill using a template

var api = new MandrillApi("YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE");
var message = new MandrillMessage();
message.FromEmail = "no-reply@acme.com";
message.AddTo("recipient@example.com");
message.ReplyTo = "customerservice@acme.com";
//supports merge var content as string
message.AddGlobalMergeVars("invoice_date", DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
//or as objects (handlebar templates only)
message.AddRcptMergeVars("recipient@example.com", "invoice_details", new[]
{
    new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        {"sku", "apples"},
        {"qty", 4},
        {"price", "0.40"}
    },
    new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        {"sku", "oranges"},
        {"qty", 6},
        {"price", "0.30"}

    }
});

var result = await api.Messages.SendTemplateAsync(message, "customer-invoice");

Processing a web hook batch

[HttpPost]
public IHttpActionResult MyWebApiControllerMethod(FormDataCollection value)
{
    //optional: validate your webhook signature
    // see https://mandrill.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205583257-How-to-Authenticate-Webhook-Requests
    if(!ValidateRequest(value))
    {
      return Forbidden();
    }

    var events = MandrillMessageEvent.ParseMandrillEvents(value.Get("mandrill_events"));
    foreach (var messageEvent in events)
    {
        // do something with the event
    }
    return Ok();
}

private bool ValidateRequest(FormDataCollection value)
{
   IEnumerable<string> headers;
   if (!Request.Headers.TryGetValues("X-Mandrill-Signature", out headers))
   {
     return false;
   }
   var signature = headers.Single();
   var key = "MANDRILL_WEBHOOK_KEY_HERE";

   return WebHookSignatureHelper.VerifyWebHookSignature(signature, key, Request.RequestUri, value.ReadAsNameValueCollection());
}
