SleekView Charts for wpMandrill: Mandrill send dashboards in WordPress
wpMandrill routes WordPress mail through Mandrill (Mailchimp Transactional) and records each send with its tags and Mandrill response. SleekView Charts reads the plugin's log table and tag pivots so daily volume, top tags, status mix, and engagement render as configurable chart cards on a single screen.

Reporting that uses the wpMandrill log
wpMandrill is a long-standing WordPress plugin that swaps the default mailer for Mailchimp Transactional (Mandrill). It records each outgoing message with the Mandrill request and response payload, including the Mandrill tags applied. The log table holds id, from, to, subject, tags, status, and created_at. With Mandrill webhooks enabled the plugin can also capture delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, and complained events.
The default wpMandrill stats screen surfaces basic counts per tag, which is useful but limited. The recurring Mandrill questions live in the full log. "Which tag generates the most volume?" "Which tag has the worst bounce rate?" "How does monthly volume trend?" "Did the latest deploy introduce a runaway loop in the 'wp-notification' tag?" The log has the data; the default screen does not assemble it as a dashboard.
SleekView Charts reads the wpMandrill log and tag pivot and renders those questions as chart cards on one screen. A Number card for sends this month, a Donut for status mix, a Bar ranking top tags, an Area for daily volume across the trailing 30 days. Cards refresh as Mandrill writes new rows, so the dashboard mirrors the Mandrill activity feed without leaving WordPress.

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for wpMandrill
Plan-aware KPIs
Number cards count sends this month against the Mailchimp Transactional block size and monthly plan. Plan pressure becomes visible a week before the cap is hit instead of after Mandrill starts charging for the next block.
Tag-driven insight
Bar cards on the Mandrill tag column reveal which automation or notification category drives the most sending. Useful for catching runaway notification loops and tagging-related misconfigurations before they affect plan billing.
Failure visibility
Donut cards on the status column surface bounce and rejection spikes the morning they start. A creeping bounce rate from a misconfigured domain becomes visible long before customer complaints arrive in support inbox.
Audience
Who builds wpMandrill dashboards with SleekView
Marketing leads
Campaign post-mortem dashboard. After each broadcast the Area card shows the volume spike and the Donut confirms the delivered-to-bounced ratio stayed within Mailchimp Transactional's recommended thresholds across the campaign window.
Site administrators
Weekly reliability dashboard combining sends, bounces, and tag rankings from the wpMandrill log. Catch a runaway tag the morning it spikes rather than after the Mailchimp Transactional plan tips into overage charges.
Support staff
Triage dashboard with recent rejections and top recipients. Support filters by recipient or tag from a single screen instead of paging through the wpMandrill log row by row for every customer ticket about missing email.
The bigger picture
Why Mandrill-routed sites still need a chart layer
Mandrill (now Mailchimp Transactional) bills in blocks, and the difference between staying inside one block and crossing into the next is sometimes a single runaway notification loop. wpMandrill records every send and every tag into its local log, but the default stats screen treats that data as basic counts rather than as a dashboard. SleekView Charts reads the same log and turns the data into chart cards a site admin reads in five seconds.
The monthly Number tracks block usage. The Donut shows the deliverability mix. The Bar ranks tags so the noisiest category is obvious.
The Area shows the daily curve. A block-pressure week becomes visible a week before the next block is billed, which gives the site owner time to tighten notification rules or move some volume to a different transactional provider before the charge hits the next invoice.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for wpMandrill
Logging behaviour depends on the plugin settings. Enable detailed logging so the log table accumulates rows with status, tags, and timestamps. SleekView reads whatever the plugin writes and charts it; richer logging means richer charts on the dashboard with more dimensions to slice by.
Yes. The tags column on the wpMandrill log holds a comma-separated list of Mandrill tags applied to each message. Derive a tag dimension at the SleekView dataset level so the Bar card groups by individual tag rather than by the raw comma-separated string, giving clean per-tag breakdowns on the dashboard.
Yes. Configure the Number card target to the block size (typically 25,000 sends per block) and the card renders progress as a percentage. Block pressure becomes visible a week before the next block is purchased, giving time to tighten notification volume rules ahead of the next invoice.
Yes. If the plugin captures delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, and complained webhook events into an event table, SleekView reads that table alongside the send log. Area and Bar cards over event types show engagement and deliverability on the same dashboard as the send-side counts.
Yes. Aggregations run on indexed columns on the wpMandrill log table, so high-volume sites sending hundreds of thousands of messages a month render charts in seconds. Pagination on detail drill-downs keeps the dashboard responsive even on the busiest WordPress installs.
Yes. Each chart card exposes the underlying log rows for CSV export with the active filters applied. That gives a clean handoff to Mailchimp Transactional support or to internal auditors when a deliverability incident needs documenting across a date range, tag, or status filter.
Yes. The wpMandrill plugin continues to write the same log columns regardless of the upstream rename from Mandrill to Mailchimp Transactional. SleekView reads those columns and renders charts the same way. If a plugin update changes a column name the dataset is updated once and every card on the dashboard picks up the change.
Yes. The plugin's own stats screen stays in place, and SleekView adds the cross-cutting dashboard the default stats do not assemble. The two layers complement each other rather than competing, with detailed per-tag analytics in the plugin and a weekly overview in SleekView Charts.
