We are having a problem with Individual email results. Our aim is to show individual email results in Salesforce after sending emails from Marketing Cloud.
We sent several emails from Marketing Cloud to the same lead id using template email 'A'. However we noticed that marketing cloud didn't create any individual email results in Salesforce linked to this lead id.
We already verified settings of marketing cloud connector and we didn't find any issue (as a confirm, we sent another email using template email 'B' after the template ‘A’ to the same lead id and IER has been created).
We verified in the Sent Data View (configured using a query) where marketing logs all information related to the email sends and we found out that email sents with template 'A' show the same Job ID, but different Batch ID.
Can the IER creation be affected by this behaviour?
What is the behaviour of Salesforce/Marketing when we have the creation/update of IER? Are there any constraints? (In our example we will probably send the same email template to the same lead id several times in an hour/day).

I'm writing a program that should send emails to multiple users with content extracted from an excel spreadsheet. I know how to do this using the net/smtp package in Go, but I would like to know if it's possible to send an email with the sender being a google group (i.e googlegroup#gmail.com) instead of my email without resorting to using the gmail API? Currently I have a working program that can log in through an email and password, which is then used for auth credentials, but seeing as that google groups don't have the same kind of interface I'm not quite sure how to change it so emails are sent from a group instead of an individual user.
Each google group should have an email address associated with it. golang-nuts is golang-nuts#googlegroups.com for example. Any mail sent to that should be posted to the group, assuming it is from a member of the group.
In order to send from your own gmail account, you can use gmail's outgoing smtp feature with the net/smtp package. Configuration is explained better on this digital ocean post
I am using SES for emailing (currently only sending but I'm open to using it for receiving as well), EC2 server for web app and RDS.
Web application written in Java.
I would like to act as intermediary for users that email each other through my website by having all emails sent between users go through me.
The purpose is to conceal the emails of the two users who are emailing each other.
I thought of doing something like this:
1) The initial email is sent on the website, there it receives a unique ID which is stored in the database (containing the email addresses of the sender and receiver).
2) All subsequent emails between the two users are sent to the website's email address with the unique ID appended as a label (eg:bob+[uniqueId]#domain.com).
3) The email is accordingly routed back and forth between receiver and sender (I perform minor modifications to the email).
(Airbnb does something similar when users of its site message each other).
An extra caveat is that I would like attachments to be able to be included in the emails as well (and thus, they would need to be forwarded).
Is this the correct way to implement this functionality?
Should I do it differently?
If this is the correct approach, any references for how to get started? Specifically, I'm not sure how to use a lambda function (if that is what I would be using) to send an email, or to query my RDS.
Thank you
This sounds similar to private email systems I've seen on other sites. I think you have the correct idea. I would recommend using SES for both sending and receiving, and use a Lambda function to process the incoming emails.
You can have SES fire a Lambda function when you receive an email: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/receiving-email-action-lambda-example-functions.html
The other option for triggering processing of incoming emails would be SES->SNS->Java application webhook. Or you could queue them up via SES->SNS->SQS and have your Java application subscribe to the SQS queue.
I have a google form on my site that collects user info, including email addresses.
I have already created a script that sends a welcome email.
Now I need to be able to create an email list from that list of emails.
The resulting email list will be receiving triggers from IFTTT to send an email with particular triggers.
How do I get the email addresses from the form results (google sheets) to the mailing list (currently in googlegroups)?
The email list should be able to be triggered with a single address (something#googlegroups.com) because that's all IFTTT will allow.
(I'm working on a test process for a tech company. While we refine details of the app's function, which I am not building, we also want to test the real-world end of the process, and make it as simple and user-friendly as possible.)
Here is the reason for my peculiar question:
I am working on a mortgage application for a mortgage broker where each mortgage application is a record. Now this broker will take each of the applications he has received and enter this application (in an up line lender's system) and during the life of this mortgage application, he receives notification emails about updates from the up line lender.
It is required that in this application, all emails pertaining to a particular mortgage application are visible under that record.
My plan is to have all emails collect in a single inbox, and give that inbox an alias corresponding to the record id of the mortgage record. The alias remains active as long as the mortgage application is active and the broker cares for receiving these updates. Once the mortgage application record is dead, that alias is removed.
When displaying the particular mortgage record, I can query the mail server for the emails where the to address is the alias of that particular record.
My key requirements are:
The email server or email service should allow for about 400-500 aliases at a time.
Should have an API interface for creating and deleting an alias.
As far as the creating/deleting API is concerned, Google Apps (https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/guides/manage-user-aliases) really fits the requirement, but has a 30 alias limit.
Does Microsoft Outlook online mail support this kind of API and ability to create mailbox alias?
If we went in the direction of having a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010/2013, would it allow programmatic access to create aliases? What would be the license cost?
Thanks in advance for looking this up.
With update from #mti2935, I am considering a catch-all solution rather then deal with creating aliases.
So, now I think all I need is to be able to process the emails. What's the best means of processing emails (in my case, I will simply have to look at the "to" field and put the emails in different buckets).
I have found a third party service that can help me parse emails. Definitely going to try that out and provide an update here.

One option to consider is to setup a mail server using qmail, configured as a catch-all for your domain, such that all mail to *#yourdomain.tld forwards to a script which parses each incoming message, scrapes the to, from, subject, etc. logs the messages in your database, etc. It's easier than it sounds to setup. See How to setup a mail server?. This can be done fairly inexpensively on a Rackspace or AWS cloud server.
I have a database as part of my web app that stores user emails, age, gender, etc. Is there a way, through the API to send a bulk email to a lsit of users? Previously I've used their API to create new entries from my database in MailChimp's system, and then we'd segment our users through MailChimp's web application. The issue is that sending your data to MailChimp has so many issues. For example, to store a user's age in MailChimp, you have to create an individual "group title" for each age when done thru the API. You can't just specify that the field "age" is a number and then add whatever you like. Also, each user selects a city when they sign up through us, and if we add another city to our selection list, you have to manually add it on MailChimp, otherwise you get an error.
So the simplest solution would be if we could do the segmenting on our side and send an email through the API, unless there is another, easy way to do this. I know that Amazon SES let's you email through an API, but I want other features of MailChimp, such as sent email history, analytics and providing and easy unsubscribe feature for users - Amazon SES doesn't do any of that.
Is there an answer to my conundrum?
Have you checked out Mandrill? It's a newer service from MailChimp that works like SES, but has those incredible MailChimp marketing sensibilities you know and love (open/click tracking, email audit log, plus lots of new stuff.)
It won't connect directly to your data in MailChimp (yet), but it sounds like you've got all the relevant data in your own DB already and can do the segmentation and content generation yourself.
Bonus: you'll also get a discount if you're already a paying MailChimp customer.
