SleekView for wpMandrill: transactional send log & webhook events as tables
wpMandrill routes wp_mail() through Mailchimp Transactional (formerly Mandrill) and logs each send plus webhook feedback locally. SleekView reads the log so you can audit deliverability, scan bounces, and bulk-investigate failures from one workspace.

Mailchimp Transactional events as a workspace
wpMandrill is the long-running connector between WordPress and Mailchimp Transactional (formerly Mandrill). The plugin hooks into wp_mail(), stores API credentials and feature flags in wp_options, and writes a per-send audit log (custom table or option-backed list depending on version) capturing recipient, subject, Mandrill MessageId, status, and response. Webhook events (delivery, hard bounce, soft bounce, spam, reject) flow back into the same log when the webhook endpoint is configured.
The default plugin admin offers reports for sends and bounces at an aggregate level. It doesn't render the per-send log as a workspace ops can scan daily. Per-template deliverability, per-recipient send history, complaint clustering, and rejection-reason audits each live as scattered data on the Mandrill side or as raw log entries on the WordPress side. Neither becomes a one-glance view.
SleekView reads the wpMandrill audit log, joins it to wp_users where the recipient matches a registered user, and renders webhook events as filterable columns on the originating send row. Per-send status becomes a coloured column, MessageId becomes a queryable join key, and bulk recipient blacklisting runs through the plugin's API client.

Comparison
Default wpMandrill admin vs SleekView
Default wpMandrill admin
- Reports show aggregates but not a scannable per-send log
- Webhook events aren't first-class columns on the originating send
- Per-template deliverability requires the Mailchimp Transactional dashboard
- Bulk recipient blacklist management isn't a default inline action
- Rejection-reason analysis needs SQL against the log table
SleekView
- Per-send status column with MessageId and last event inline
- Filter by recipient, subject, status, and event type together
- Inline bulk blacklist through the plugin's API client
- Webhook event rows joined to the originating send
- Saved views for daily bounce and rejection audits
Features
What SleekView gives you for wpMandrill (Mailchimp Transactional)
Send and webhook log
Every wpMandrill send renders as a row with recipient, subject, MessageId, status, and last webhook event inline. Queued, rejected, and bouncing rows surface immediately with the Mandrill rejection reason cached alongside.
Webhook event cohorts
Filter sends by event type (delivery, open, click, hard_bounce, soft_bounce, spam, reject) to build deliverability cohorts. Spot the recipients responsible for a complaint spike before reputation drifts.
Bulk blacklist inline
Select bouncing or rejected recipients and add them to the Mandrill blacklist through the plugin's API client. Hooks fire as expected so downstream audit pipes record the action consistently.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for wpMandrill
Deliverability ops
Daily bounce, reject, and complaint audit. Filter webhook events by type and aggregate by sending domain. The view doubles as the first place to look when Mandrill throttles a sending identity.
Customer support
Look up whether a specific customer received a specific transactional email. Filter the log by recipient and subject substring; MessageId and timestamp confirm the send. Saves a Mandrill console search for every missing-email ticket.
Site admins
Bulk-blacklist hard-bouncing addresses to protect sender reputation. Filter to hard_bounce events from the last 7 days, select all, and add to blacklist inline through the plugin's API client.
The bigger picture
Why transactional logs need a workspace
Transactional email failures are operational emergencies in slow motion. A magic-link email lands in spam and one user can't log in; a receipt rejects and a customer disputes the charge. wpMandrill records the per-send result and the webhook feedback locally, but the default admin renders aggregates rather than the per-send workspace ops needs to triage incidents.
Comparing rejection reasons week over week, scanning the latest bouncing cohort, looking up a customer's last seven sends, each of those becomes either a Mandrill dashboard tour or a SQL exercise. SleekView reads the wpMandrill audit log along with whatever webhook events the plugin captures, joins both to wp_users on recipient email, and renders the combined data as filterable views. Per-send status is a coloured column.
Webhook events become filters. Bulk blacklist runs inline through the plugin's API client. For teams running Mailchimp Transactional at WordPress scale, the workspace replaces a recurring forensic exercise with a daily five-minute scan.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for wpMandrill (Mailchimp Transactional)
No. The Mailchimp Transactional dashboard remains the home for sending-domain authentication, dedicated IP management, and platform-level reports. SleekView focuses on the WordPress-side log so per-send context (which user, which trigger) is one query away rather than a dashboard search.
Blacklist and rejection-allowlist actions are inline through the plugin's API client where supported. Send payloads themselves are immutable once Mandrill has accepted them; the plugin's log records the audit trail and SleekView surfaces it as a workspace.
Yes, where the wpMandrill webhook endpoint is configured and writing events into the local log. Delivery, open, click, soft and hard bounces, spam, and reject events become filter values on the originating send row, so each send carries its most recent feedback as a column.
Yes. Queries paginate against the indexed send-log table. The plugin's API calls remain rate-limited by the Mandrill SDK. SleekView reads what the plugin already stores rather than re-fetching from Mandrill on every page load. Sites with millions of monthly sends run smoothly.
Yes. Join the send log to wp_users on recipient email. The joined view shows per-user mail history with subjects, MessageIds, and webhook feedback. Useful for support, GDPR responses, and per-customer deliverability reviews.
Yes. Mandrill rejection reasons (hard-bounce, unsub, spam, custom, invalid-sender, invalid, test-mode-limit, rule) are first-class filter values on the log view. Group by reason to see whether a sender identity is hitting structural rejections rather than recipient-level bounces.
Blacklist state is read from Mandrill on demand or cached locally depending on plugin version. SleekView renders the cached state as a column on the recipient view; bulk-add and bulk-remove route through the plugin's API client so Mandrill stays the source of truth.
All views export to CSV or JSON. Per-user filters yield the local send log for a data subject. Combine with Mailchimp Transactional's own data-export tooling for the SaaS-side record to assemble a complete GDPR response without writing custom queries.
