Ask HN: What do you suggest for action-triggered email?
2 comments
I'd like to invite you to rules.io if you are interested. We offer both behavior-based segmentation in Mailchimp to make your campaigns more targeted. And, we offer behavior or inactivity-triggered emails - using Sendgrid and Mandrill is coming to let you use your MC templates. And integration is a Ruby gem for RoR apps or simple REST api.
Let me know if I can personally answer any questions - we're in private beta and want to make sure we're solving problems in the right way! Thanks

We have created a social network for startups and while the in-platform notification system works great in our private beta, I believe that transactional email notifications (those triggered by user actions) are critical to user retention.
We intend to use Mailchimp for newsletters, but what services can you recommend for transaction (automated following user actions) email?
Sendgrid seems to be the popular choice, but Mandrill is another option– and as its a Mailchimp product, perhaps this could work for us?
We need something that's easily implemented and scalable.
