MenuWhat platform does clarity use for autogenerated emails? Should we be building that content and have that setup within our app programming?
We are currently using mailchimp and signed up for their integration partner Mandrill, I love how clarity has such a personal touch with each added question, we are bootstrapping, but does it make sense to add the email workflow into the programming from the start? We are working in a corporate git with CTO team. How does your programmer access the automated content? Can you set that up through a git hub wiki?

You could ask Vincent http://clarity.fm/vincentroy if you have anything further to discuss.. but here's the short version.
We built custom code for all our trigger emails & notifications, and use www.sendgrid.com for SMTP API. We looked at others, but I'm friends with the founder at SendGrid and like them personally.
For free, you can use Google Mail api (if you send less then 500 messages per day I believe). It's simple / and gets great deliverability.
Hope that helps.
P.S. The emails I write, hence the personal feelings .. it actually comes from me.

What are the most reputable email verification vendors? How crucial is this step in email marketing?
Do you have an idea of what kind of invalid emails you are receiving? That will help you determine which vendor is the best fit for you. For example do you consider support@, info@, or postmaster@ invalid, some vendors will weed those out for you? Or are you just concerned with making sure the email has an accurate Domain/MX Record? Will blocking SPAM IP addresses be enough to address your needs, if so you need a vendor who checks agains URI DNSBLs. With that in mind, here's a good blog article about the top vendors. Best wishes! https://www.formget.com/best-email-verification-services/NP

How do I manage and automate auto responders and customer communication with Capsule, Mailchimp and Freshbooks?
You need to think about these auto-responders in terms of events. If you can put data up on MailChimp when an event takes place, you can manage auto-responders off of that data. Here is some additional information from their website. http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-do-i-create-an-autoresponderJM

Closing the Loop on Referrals. Seeking ways to help close or track down referrals done via email systems with trusted parties for compensation?
I haven't come across something that does exactly that. If it's a relatively small number of companies you refer, signing up to an affiliate program for each of them is probably easiest. If the number of brands/companies is bigger, this sounds like something that should be built. Would love to have a quick chat with you on that.AP

How would you explain GitHub (or Git) to People that are not programmers or programmers that used SVN before?
Git is the latest and coolest software, and SVN is the outdated old one. When you tell SVN that you want to create a new branch of your code to have some fun, it creates a heavy weight dumb carbon copy for you. But Git is intelligent, it won't create a new copy for you instead it will only keep track of the things you're adding/removing/changing with respect to the original sources. I hope I made the point, for more let's have a telephone call some time :)NA
