Summary

Moesif behavioral emails can be integrated with Mailchimp to automatically send notifications to customers based on their API usage, addressing technical issues like rate limits or deprecated APIs, and even business events like shipping notifications. The guide outlines the setup process, which requires both Moesif and Mailchimp accounts, including a paid Mailchimp Transactional Account, though a free trial is available. Initial setup involves obtaining SMTP credentials from Mailchimp and configuring them in Moesif’s email server settings. After configuration, users can create and test email templates to ensure functionality. Using Mailchimp's managed email service helps mitigate common email issues, ensuring that API consumers are kept informed of critical updates efficiently.
