Gmail Email Markup Schema and Mailchimp

I want to add Gmail Email actions to my outbound emails: https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/reference/offer?hl=en

Using mailchimp, I have verified with Mailchimp that the emails are signed by DKIM.

When I view the email headers I send, I see
mailed-by: mail171.suw12.mcsv.net
Signed by: mail171.suw12.mcsv.net

I would expect to see, in order to work with Gmail Actions:
mailed-by: mycompany.net
Signed by: mycompany.net

Typical issues Google rejects submissions include:
1) Email’s domain not authenticated properly (DKIM, SPF).
2) Authenticated domain does not match the “From:” email’s domain.
3) Not enough volume sent to Gmail addresses (need more than 100 emails/day).
4) Spam reputation is too low (too many spam complaints from users/emails qualified as spam).

I have verified 2-4 is not an issue.

Has anyone used Mailchimp successfully to send Gmail actions markup?

E.g. the confirmation emails from MailChimp are marked up per default (i.e. you can confirm your subscription by using a quick action in the subject line). Are you registered with Google? Also note that Gmail Grid View does not exist anymore.Trichroism
Hi, I can't register with Google, as they say my email is not a valid DKIM, hence my question above, as I'm using Mailchimp. developers.google.com/gmail/markup/reference/rsvp-action is the main action I want to invoke, the offer action is just the easiest to test with.Eris
If 3) is not an issue, your may want to ask the MailChimp support, how you can implement DKIM authentification for your domain, too. As a side effect, this will also remove the "via" note next to your from name in the email view.Trichroism
Yep, I was in touch with Mailchimp as we send over 1k a day emails. They verified DKIM is set up correctly, but I suspect their setup does not support Gmail Actions. Has anyone used Mailchimp successfully to send Gmail actions markup?Eris
@VinnyGlennon users who get started with a new MailChimp account get a email notification with a confirm action button, so I'm sure you can use Gmail markup with MailChimp (blog.mailchimp.com/gmails-inbox-actions-work-with-mailchimp). On the registration site (developers.google.com/gmail/markup/registering-with-google) it states "(order of hundred emails a day minimum to Gmail) for a few weeks at least." So, maybe you could try registering again in a few weeks.Subjectify
@Subjectify their transaction emails may be different from their customers emails. I signed up new account and did not get a confirm action button. I also checked the source code, no mention. We send out well over a 1k a a day for months, this limit is not an issueEris
