The version 2.0 of MailChimp APIs has a campaign send API. However I don't find any similar API on v3.0. I do find an automation API where in I can start a workflow, however it appears from the documentation that workflows can't be created using APIs and can be created only using the GUI.
The requirement is to be able to send emails using MailChimp API. Please advise.
It's now possible to both create and send a campaign through the V3.0 API.
See the 'Action' tab here
You can send to a saved segment, but as far as I can tell, there's no way to create a saved segment via the API.
You actually cannot send one on one email with APIv3.0. Mandrill now takes over for the transactional emails.
It's not yet possible to edit or create campaigns in API v3.0. See the API v3 roadmap.

What I'm trying to accomplish?
Send an API (chat.postMessage) from a 3rd party app to a Slack user - Done
The message will have two buttons (approve and decline) which the user can click on - Done
Upon clicking on one of the buttons, Slack should send an API back to the 3rd party app - TBD
Before sending an API, Slack should retrieve an authentication token via API - TBD
Note: I've seen in Slack docs mentioning of /incoming endpoint (also /interactive-message). My 3rd party app has a strict set of available APIs. I'm not able to create new API endpoints. Also, I need the payload to be sent in a specific JSON structure.
I've reviewed Slack documentation but I can't figure it out.
Making notifications actionable
I'm technical but not a developer so there might be nuances which I'm missing.
Is there any section in Slack where I can add custom code to accomplish such integration?
If not, how I can accomplish it?
Edit:
I've configured a Request URL (in slack), when I click on one of the buttons in the message, I can see an API request is being sent to the URL.
I'm able to see the payload as well.
My problem is that I need the information to be sent in a different format and to a different endpoint.
What is the best approach to take for this? Do I need to develop a new service to capture and parse the payload and then generate the API request to my 3rd party app?
Ok, so here is how I've accomplished it.
Upon clicking a button in slack, Slack sends an API with a certain payload to the predefined endpoint which you configure (Request URL).
I've used free tier AWS serverless components:
API Gateway and Lambda
API gateway receives the payload and invokes the Lambda function (I used Python as it seems the easier for a non developer)
My Lambda function is processing the payload and has the logic to interact with my 3rd party app in the required way.
I want to pull some metrics daily posted in my slack channel. these metrics are located in my personal server, and to pull them via rest API a basic authentication is also required.
Does slack support this?in other words can slack do external api call in such way?
and if yes how?
To achieve this, you need to create a custom application(bot).
You can implement your custom business logic and then use slack APIs to post generated data to Slack Client.

We want to start a service with Mailchimp where every subscriber will get a customized link in the email she receives. The Subscription Form will be on a wordpress website (not my decision).
There is a pool of thousand of links with a unique parameter, which we have stored on our webserver, like these examples
https://example.com/link?code=a25b1d085f3aec4b256
https://example.com/link?code=32219abb336de28a103
etc
Every code parameter should only be used once and should be kept as secret as possible. So I don't think it is a good idea to send the code from the form to mailchimp in a hidden field.
I don't know, if this is possible. Is Mailchimp even the right tool to do this?
I'm not sure, where to start the journey.
I don't think webhooks will help me here, as those are only one-way communication without a backwards channel, as far as I understand.
I checked the Mailchimp API documentation, but I might be too foolish to understand, which of the multiple options I need to use.
I found this answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53096852/476951, but I don't know, if this will suit my needs. As I understand it, this will chhange the mail template in Mailchimp UI with an API request and store it. The successive emails will all use this changed template until I change the template again. This seems not to be the correct way.
So, here are the two workflows that might be possible, but I don't know if they are.
Have a form created in Wordpress (not the embedded Mailchimp form), and create a custom form handler with admin-post.php like described here. Then use the API to send the email through the Mailchimp service with my dynamic link in it. But how. Every tuorial I found sends campaigns via the API, not individual mails to single recepients
Somehow manage Mailchimp to get the dynamic content via some sort of webhooks or the likes.
Is any of these workflows suitable to do this?
If yes, who should I set these up?
Is there anything else I might have missed?
Edit
Or do I need to use Mailchimp Transactional Email service (former called Mandrill)?
Is there a way to way to get read receipt of sent mail?
Like which mail is read and which one is unread?
Using google apis Rest.
Read Receipt is no available in current version of google mail api.
provide third party solutions.
As of now Read reciept is not available.
but you can always write custom code to implement task.
Well, if you check the Gmail API documentation you cannot find any guides here that can achieve this. I found here a related SO question that try to use Apps Script in achieving this, but it seems that the Apps Script is also not applicable. I suggest you to file a feature request about this if you still want to do it with the Gmail api.
How can you replicate an existing campaign
according to v3 of the MailChimp API - programmatically? (I know you can do it via the frontend.)
https://us9.api.mailchimp.com/schema/3.0/Campaigns/Instance.json
It's not yet possible to create or replicate campaigns in API v3.0. See the API v3 roadmap.
The replicate API has now been implemented.
