Critical operational emails confirmed as undelivered routed to account manager for channel decision ## What This Integration Enables Mailchimp Transactional integration gives agents a high-deliverability sending infrastructure for operational email. Agents send individual messages and template-based communications, retrieve delivery and tracking data, manage rejection lists to protect sender reputation, and monitor queue health. For operational communications where reliability and tracking matter, this is the sending layer. ### Without FlowRunner **Invoices sent and forgotten**: No visibility into whether invoice emails were delivered or opened **Inconsistent templates**: Different team members use different email formats for the same document types **Manual opt-out management**: Unsubscribes in Mailchimp Marketing require separate manual update to suppress from Mandrill ### With FlowRunner **Delivery confirmation on every invoice**: Open and delivery status retrieved before the due date on every outstanding invoice **Template-driven consistency**: Every invoice, confirmation, and receipt uses the branded template without variation **Synchronized suppression**: Opt-outs from any channel automatically block transactional sends in the same action ## Use Case Scenarios ### Invoice Delivery with Confirmation QuickBooks creates an invoice. The agent sends it via Send With Template using the invoice email template with the customer's data substituted. It retrieves the message ID and stores it against the invoice record. Three days before the due date, the agent calls Get Message Info to verify the invoice email was delivered and opened. If not opened, it triggers a resend with a different subject line. Invoices do not go unpaid because the customer never saw the email. ### Rejection List Maintenance An unsubscribe event fires from Mailchimp Marketing. The agent calls Add Rejection to add the contact's email to the Mandrill rejection list simultaneously. This ensures the same contact cannot receive transactional emails either, maintaining consistent opt-out compliance across both marketing and transactional channels. ### Template Selection by Context An agent is sending contract confirmation emails. Different contract types need different templates: standard MSA, enterprise agreement, partner agreement. The agent calls Get Templates List to retrieve available templates, matches the template name to the contract type, and calls Send With Template with the appropriate template. One workflow handles multiple communication types without hardcoded template IDs. ## Human-in-Loop Highlight When Get Message Info returns a critical operational email as undelivered (an invoice, a contract, a payment confirmation), the agent does not silently retry. It routes to the account manager via Slack: "Invoice email to \[Customer\] for $\[amount\] was not delivered. Delivery status: \[status\]. Do you want me to resend, try an alternative email, or reach out via phone?" The manager decides how to handle a failed critical communication. Agent processes routinely Detects exception requiring judgment Clear match Continues automatically Ambiguous Routes to human via Slack Human decides Agent resumes with decision ## Agent Capabilities 10 actions ### Capabilities 10 - **Send Message** Sends a transactional email with custom content and metadata.
