This is a widget that will get the number of mandrill mail sent today and the number sent yesterday is stored. The first iteration will not show the previous days mail count.

This widget requires a Mandrill API key. It should be put in mandrill.rb in place of 'YOUR_API_KEY'

To display it on your dashboard use the following code

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="mandrilltodaysent" data-view="Number" data-title="Emails Sent Today"></div>
</li>

The Number widget provided by Dashing is used to display the widget.

mandrill.rb

require 'mandrill'
require 'json'

mandrill = Mandrill::API.new 'YOUR_API_KEY'

yesterday_number = 0
todays_number = 0

clock = Time.new
day = clock.day

SCHEDULER.every '15m', :first_in => 0 do |job|
  if day != clock.day 
    #Checks to see if the day has rolled over
      yesterday_number= todays_number
  end
  result = mandrill.users.info
  todays_number = result["stats"]["today"]["sent"]
  
  send_event('mandrilltodaysent', { current: todays_number, last: yesterday_number })
end
