    Hi

    As a result of mandrill changes I switched to sparkpost and can’t get the test emails to work.

    Does mail poet work with sparkpost?

    If not when will support be added as its pretty essential given that many former mandrill users will make the switch as sparkpost looks fine for many of mail poet users requirements.

    Thanks

    James

  • Hi,

    At the moment we do not have any plans to build-in Sparkpost support, however there are some guides online by users that have hacked MailPoet to get it to work. Unfortunately we can’t support that kind of modification.

    We continue to recommend SendGrid, as we support their API.

    Thanks!

    Hi

    On our site, we got Mailpoet working with Sparkpost using the Sparkpost plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/sparkpost). To do this we:

    1. Configured the Sparkpost plugin to use the ‘HTTP API (Default)’ send method, gave it our API key, and checked the checkbox to ‘Send email using SparkPost’. (You can send a test message at the bottom of this settings page to check that this is working).

    2. Configured MailPoet. On the MailPoet settings ‘Send with…’ tab, we chose to send with ‘Your own website’ and chose Delivery method ‘WP mail’ – behind the scenes this means that emails actually get sent by the SparkPost API. (You can send a test message on this page too).

    3. Once we’d got this far, we found that though the emails were being sent, they were in the wrong format. This seems to be just a bug in MailPoet, which I raised on this forum in this post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/integraiton-with-sparkpost-http-api?replies=3#post-8353435 – this post also shows how we fixed it ourselves on our site. Having done this, everything seems to be working fine!

    This last step involves making a one-line change to a code file in the MailPoet plugin on your website. If you’re not happy or able to do this, hopefully MailPoet will resolve this issue themselves and release an updated version of their plugin which would then just work with SparkPost.

    Hope this works for you.

    Hi,

    Thanks for this update. We will test it out and possibly add a fix to the next update.

    How do you get the WP Mail Delivery method to show in mailpoet under Your own website. When I choose that I only see sendmail and php mail.

    MailPoet’s Settings page > Send with tab > Third Party > type “sparkpost.com” on the hostname field. The API Key will show up.

    No API field on settings anymore?
