"Integrate SendGrid with Apollo"

Overview

If you already actively use SendGrid for transactional or marketing emails, you can connect your account with Apollo to send higher volumes of emails.

Note : If you are not an active user of Sendgrid Before starting with sendgrid Integration we need to set up sendgrid.

Please Follow below steps :

Set Up, Configure, and Troubleshoot Your SendGrid Account Set Up

Connect Your SendGrid Account to Apollo

Once you configure your SendGrid account, you can connect it to Apollo.

To set up the Apollo<>SendGrid integration:

1. Click the Integrations icon.
   

2. Scroll to SendGrid and click Connect.

3. Fill in your SendGrid API Key and click Link SendGrid.

4. Any time you update your API key, copy the new key into the SendGrid API key field. Then, click the Update API key.

Enable SendGrid As Default for All Users:

Scroll to SendGrid and click View:

Then, click Make SendGrid default.

You have now enabled SendGrid as default for all users in your team.

Configure the Event Webhook Settings :

To ensure accurate email event tracking when you integrate Apollo with SendGrid, you must configure the event webhook settings in Apollo. To do so:

1. Scroll to Event webhook settings and click Fix settings.
   

2. Apollo populates the HTTP Post URL field, configures the necessary event types and tracking options, and enables the webhook authentication toggle for you.

Then save.

Enable SendGrid for a Mailbox

1. Click Settings. Then, click the Mailboxes tab in your Personal Profile.

2. Click the Additional Options (...) button for the mailbox you want to enable with

SendGrid. Then, click Send emails from SendGrid.

Confirm You're Set Up

Add a contact to a sequence to confirm you've integrated SendGrid correctly.

When you add a contact to a sequence and choose Send Emails From:, you will see (SendGrid) next to an email address. This confirms you've set up SendGrid correctly.

SendGrid and SPAM Filters:

SendGrid replaces the tracking URLs and directs them to SendGrid servers to resolve deliverability issues. If you connect your Apollo account to SendGrid, you do not need to configure a Tracking Subdomain because SendGrid manages your tracking links on their end. For more information:  "Avoid SPAM Filters".

Conclusion : 

Apollo only recommends integrating with your SendGrid account if you already actively use their platform for transactional or marketing emails.
