I would like to receive an email every time someone signs up through my mailchimp form.
Is there any way to do that?
If not, are there any other email automation services which offer this?
Yes, there is. But this is a MailChimp setting question (not one for StackOverflow).
You can do this by going to the website -> Audience -> Manage Audience -> Settings -> Audience Name and Defaults -> Add your email to the "New subscriber notifications" section.
You may need admin permissions for this.

As I start to learn Linux, I am migrating my email account from Outlook to Evolution mail on Ubuntu. I am not able to set the "Exchange Web Services" settings correctly when setting up my company email. Where can I find my current incoming server settings in Outlook?
I checked the FILE -> Account Settings -> E-mail tab and saw my account type is Microsoft Exchange, but not more information about the server address. Does anyone know where can I find it? Thanks.
Just double click the line which shows the account type, then you should see the server settings.
I have a problem with the link with MailChimp. The problem is that MailChimp is sending an email to confirm subscription every time somebody is filling any kind of form. But, I don't want MailChimp to do that, because my prospects are not subscribing for newsletter (I mean, not each time they are filling a form). So, I'm afraid my prospects will run away when they will see that strange email in there inbox.
Is there a way to shut this email off ?
Thank you.
A confirmation is good to know that users exist or you want be sending it to people whose email addresses were bought but are no longer using them. Also buying an email list is not recommended (not saying you are), it will affect the deliverability of the campaign and not to mention complaints can cause black listing. Now having said that try and see if you can change the optin status from double to single (even if they give the option). I know dotmailer does/used to give an to change a user from double option to single optin.
I am looking on how to verify email in Parse with Swift (send an email to the person and use a link in the email to confirm that the email belongs to them). I have only found how to do it in Objective-C. How would I go about doing this in Swift? I saw that in Parse there is a column called emailVerified and it's a boolean and that's what I'm assuming it means. Is that what it means or am I mistaken?
At Parse.com, navigate to your app's Dashboard and click on the Settings tab. You can enable email verification in the Email settings panel.
There is also a small section in the developers guide linked here Parse verifying emails
When sending emails from Dynamics CRM, we want to send e-mails to only accounts and contacts. However, the built-in e-mail activity entity allows for users and leads to be added to the recipients as well.
According to Dynamics CRM Activity Parties, there are 12 types of activity parties. The ToRecipient type "specifies the recipient in the To field" and you can select Account, Contact, Lead and User. On the same page, there is a Customer party type from where you can select only Account and Contact.
According to Activity Party Entity, the Customer party list is not available as a party list for the e-mail entity. We'd prefer to use the built-in e-mail entity instead of customizing our own, so it seems to me that the remaining option is to limit the ToRecipient party list to Accounts and Contacts. Can this be done, and have I missed other ways to get around this issue?
I have gotten the same request before, but couldn't find a great way to limit this. You could throw an error upon creation through a plugin if they add a party of a different type. See the link below for an example that could get you started.
How to get the Contact Guids from a PartyList in a Plugin?
You can add a CustomView to a lookup field. The partylist is a lookupfield, so this should work, although I think it will need some thought.
Sorry for not being able to provide a full answer but maybe the addCustomView will give you some light.
Need help in implementing email based approval system. Ex: Manager gets an auto triggered mail for his/her approval with a approval link in email body, when the manager clicks on the the link, it should validate the manager and then approve it. I tried searching on the internet but didn't find relevant resource.
Request you to Please help me with your ideas, suggestions or how I should proceed, or any plugin or jar is available??? It would be very helpful to me... Thanking you...
EDIT: Thanking you for replying. We have a java web app build using spring framework (MVC) where in employees can apply leaves which has to be approved by his/her manager. If an employee applies leave then a mail is triggered for approval to his/her manager with the leave details. After looking the mail, the manager logs-in to the application to approve or reject the leaves. So request you to Please help me in how to give a direct link in the mail to approve or reject the leaves.
For one of our applications we had the same requirements - employees can submit vacation requests and supervisors will be notified via mail. We have written an article about the exact way we did it - available here.
So in a nutshell, we are using Spring Integration and GMail. Each new vacation request yields an email send to all supervisors. Supervisors can reply with either approve or reject. We only accept email addresses from our domain, but since these can be faked we introduced a shared secret - a UUID added to the mail's subject which then relates to the id of the vacation request.
Once an email comes in we run the business logic to figure out whether a request shall be approved or rejected.
As I stated in my comment, I used Velocity to template my email message. You don't have to use it, but it made my job easier. You should be able to read up on it.
Java itself has the ability to send emails in it's Java EE framework using JavaMail, or you can use Spring's wrappers. You will need access to a mail server of some sorts, and would highly recommend that you setup an email box specifically for this process. I actually used my gmail account during testing, but I wouldn't recommend that for a long-term solution. I assume your company would have an email server setup somewhere you can use.
The process flow would be:
Employee fills out request
System generates an email to employee's manager(s) with a link to approve
Manager clicks on link, taken to approval page
Manager approves/denies request
The next question is how to build the URL. I would suggest using something like a UUID or something like that, or the request ID if that makes it easier. You can generate a UUID from any seed String or set of bytes. I like UUID because it obviscates the data being sent.
Anyway, the URL will basically point to a Spring form that will allow the user to approve that request. So, thinking about what you would need, I would expect some DB record that relates the information in the incoming request to the time off request that was filled out. Read in the record, load the page and display it. Simple enough.
The next issue is locking it down so only the authorized people can approve. Again, making a huge assumption here, but I am guessing you are using Spring Security? If you are, you should be able to add a condition to the Controller's handler for this approval form that requires the user to be authenticated (read here) and add a java.security.Principal to the handler methods arguments (read 15.3.2.3 here for what you can pass into a Controller's handler). With the Principal object in-hand, you should be able to compare that to a list of approvers associated with the request record in the DB. I would then have the system generate approval/denial emails that code to all concerned parties.
Let me reiterate that this is NOT the only solution, only one possible solution. This is why I feel this is not a good question for StackOverflow, as it asks a very broad question that doesn't really have a single right answer.
