How to Connect MailerSend as Data Destination

Integration will allow you to send email or SMS, as well as add email to a blocklist in MailerSend based on data from other systems. For example, you can pass contact data from your website, landing page, or Google Sheets to MailerSend to send an email. Integration will allow you to automate the data processing process as efficiently as possible using the different services you use.

Let's go through the entire MailerSend setup steps together!

Once you've set up a Data Source system, such as Google Sheets, you can set up MailerSend as a Data Destination.

To do this, click "Start configuring Data Destination".

Select the system as Data Destination. In this case, you must specify MailerSend.

Next, you need to specify an action, for example, “Send EMAIL”.

- Add EMAIL to blocklist - the ApiX-Drive system, based on data from the Data Source block, will add a new email to the blocklist in your MailerSend account.

- Send EMAIL - the ApiX-Drive system, based on data from the Data Source block, will send an email from your MailerSend account.

- Send SMS - the ApiX-Drive system, based on data from the Data Source block, will send sms from your MailerSend account.

The next step is to select the MailerSend account to which the data will be sent.

If there are no accounts connected to the ApiX-Drive system, click “Connect account”.

In the window that opens, you must specify your API token from MailerSend.

After this, the page will reload and the saved account will be automatically selected.

In order to get this data, log into your MailerSend personal account in the Integration section and opposite API tokens, click Manage.

Click Generate new token to create a new token.

In the Enter your token name field, give your token a name. In the Domain field, select "All" , specify the API token access level "Full access" and click Create token to create it.

Next, copy your API token and paste it into the appropriate field in your ApiX-Drive account.

When the connected account appears in the "active accounts" list, select it.

Attention! If your account is on the "inactive accounts" list, check your access to this login!

Now you need to configure the connection between the fields of the Data Source using the example of Google Sheets with the corresponding fields in MailerSend.

Note!!!
In the "Sender E-mail" field you must indicate your verified domain address, which is located in the Email - Domains tab in your MailerSend personal account.

To add a variable, click on the field in which you need to transfer data and select the desired variable from the drop-down list.

Now you can see the test data.

If you want to send test data to MailerSend in order to check the correctness of the settings, click "Send test data to MailerSend" and go to your MailerSend to check the result.

If you want to change the settings, click "Edit" and you will go back a step.

If you are satisfied with everything, click “Next”.

This completes the Data Destination system setup!

Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.

To do this, click "Enable update".

On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or setup scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update will be started, or add several options at once when you need the connection will be started.

Attention! In order for the scheduled launch to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - the auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.

To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.    

To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.

In order to perform a one-time connection trigger, click on the arrow icon.

This completes the setup of MailerSend as a Data Destination! See how easy it is!?

Now don't worry, ApiX-Drive will do everything on its own!
