I've successfully created a script that will import username/passwords etc into Shopify (using the api).
However, when I do this an automatic email is sent to the customer. I don't need this and can't find a way of either modifying it or turning it off. There is no mention of the email in the api documentation which has meant me finding out the hard way (by some clients complaining!)
The email is not the same one that is sent to the customer when a new account is set up. So where does it come from? How can I switch it off/modify it's contents?
Any ideas?
Well, after some digging I found where the email message was being generated from. It is one of the default messages that are already set up in Shopify (Customer Account confirmation) under 'Emails & Notifications'.
Just make sure you change this before you start running your shop as the default message is a little 'dry'.
Thanks for your help guys.

I am using Mailjet to send emails and have the 'open tracking' enabled ("Once activated, an invisible tracking pixel (image) is added to each email you send via Mailjet").
What I want to do is to deactivate the inclusion of this tracking pixel for certain emails. I know that it is possible with Mailjet for links to do that, but were not able to find a similar functionality for the tracking pixel.
Thank you!
Yes you can. (perhaps not at the time of the original question)
API send request accepts the Mj-trackopen field.
SMTP way accepts the header X-Mailjet-TrackOpen

Using merge tags in MailChimp, how would I go about detecting whether the recipient is using Gmail, and display a message in the header accordingly?
As an example, here's what I've got in my header now, which fires if a certain email address is encountered (as opposed to if gmail.com is seen in the email domain):
*|IF:EMAIL=someone#gmail.com|*
Using Gmail? Drag this message to your Primary tab.
*|END:IF|*
Knowing that MailChimp merge tags also supports the following:
*|IF:EMAIL != someone#gmail.com|*
You are not someone#gmail.com ...you must be someone else.
*|END:IF|*
Is it possible to show a message in the header only when the recipient is a Gmail user? What operator would I use? Clearly it's not = and it's not !=
MailChimp doesn't support partial match functionality in their api. Your best hope is to process your list as subsets of the master, with domain specific functionality wired into each set.
What I've started doing is set up a saved, auto updating segment and then export it, remove everything except email column, and import it (auto updating the list) into an interest group. You can then use the interest group within conditional merge tags (whereas you can't use a segment for that, segments are only for an email send).
I'm using Objective-C. I wonder is there any plug-ins or libraries that can allow me to modify the default receiver list in system Mail app?
For example, I have made an app which can scan a card and fetch the E-mail information on it.
Now, I'd like to put the E-mail data I've fetched into system Mail app's receiver list. That is, when I use the system Mail app and write a new mail, I can see the E-mail address I fetched when I type some letters in the receiver column.
Is that possible to achieve?
This list is stored as a Sqlite database and it should be possible to append to it from another process, even while Mail.app is running. I haven't tested it, though.
The following article should help. It describes how to delete entries but adding new ones would work in pretty much the same way: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110516152604993
So my friend hosts a little get together every once in a while where space is limited to the first 14 people who RSVP. He emails the invite out to a list and then accepts the first people who respond. Tonight I barely got in because I can't always check my email, so I told him that I would write a program that would respond instantly to his request. This would not normally be a problem (autoresponder, easy) except he has recently created an online signup form. I think it would be funny for him to send out his next invite and get a sub-100ms response from me, so I would like to give this a try.
The problem is, I'm not quite sure how to go about it without going to to much expense. I have a personal site that can host some .NET backend code, but it's on a shared GoDaddy server so I don't really have a ton of access to the mailserver or anything. I was thinking that if I could get an email sent to a certain address that maybe it could trigger a webrequest that could pull down his page and then fill the (very simple, like 2 or 3 inputs) form out and submit it, but again, I'm not quite sure how.
Would anyone have an idea about how I could go about this? I would want for this to happen automatically without any sort of interaction from me, just basically as soon as I get an email from a certain email address, somehow my code is triggered and the form filled out and submitted.
This is just for fun, but the programmer in me is curious as to how I could actually get this to work.
Thanks!
The most affordable thing I know of would be through NearlyFreeSpeech.NET. If you set up an account there, you can configure a domain with email forwarding for 3 cents/day. They have an option to forward the email to a script, so you could write something that would look at the mail, pull down the form, and post to a server.
I'm not sure but I think the script has to be running on their servers, so you'll have to set up a website (another few cents per day) and write the script to run in a UNIX environment (PHP or Perl or such). If you insist on .NET, you could write a minimal PHP script to forward the data to your GoDaddy account.
Authorize.net offers a "Silent POST" feature for their Automated Recurring Billing. It's supposed to POST data to a url of your choosing, telling you whether they were able to charge the customer, how much, etc. The problem is, it isn't very well documented.
Is there any way to test a post to that URL? I've signed up for a developer account, but there's no way to specify that URL like you could in the actual system. Hence, there doesn't seem to be a way to test it out.
If not, is there a list of possible values it could return? It appears to send x_first_name, x_amount - I've seen code that uses those values - but since I can't actually get it to send a response, I'm not sure.
Is there documentation for this feature anywhere? Or even class that implements it fully?
Better late then never: All About Authorize.Net’s Silent Post
I have not seen much on it only for AIM and SIM, you might just give them a call.
Log in to your Authorize.Net order processing account, and click on the Settings link (under ACCOUNT, in the left column). Then click on the "Silent Post URL" link in the Transaction Format Settings area. You can enter your silent post URL on the next page. The next page also contains a link to the documentation explaining the technical details. HTH
Here's a few more (somewhat) useful posts I found on the subject.
Merchant Account Services - gives some limited sample code (PHP)
Experts Exchange - lists a few helpful variables, gives an idea of what's being sent (ASP).
You still have to call your account rep for them to activate Silent Post URL with your account because that is not something that is enabled automatically
Our clients use the following tool to test silent post url requests sent from the Authorize.Net gateway.
Simply add the following url to your silent post settings and change the email address for the results to be delivered to an email of choice.
