In short: The SendGrid integration lets you send Voizee mass email campaigns through your own SendGrid account. Connect it once by pasting your SendGrid API key under Settings → Organization → Integrations.
What it is
SendGrid is a cloud-based email delivery platform used by businesses to send transactional and marketing emails at scale. This integration connects SendGrid to Voizee as an alternative email service provider — when enabled, your Voizee mass email campaigns are delivered via SendGrid instead of the default AWS SES provider.
Why use it
- Use your existing SendGrid account — leverage your established sender reputation and deliverability settings.
- Alternative to AWS SES — choose SendGrid if you already have it set up or prefer it over AWS.
- Reliable delivery — SendGrid handles email infrastructure, bounce management, and deliverability at scale.
Before you start
- A SendGrid account — create one at sendgrid.com if you don’t have one yet.
Step 1 — Verify your sending identity in SendGrid
Before generating an API key, verify your sending identity in SendGrid — choose one of the following:
Domain Authentication (recommended)
- Go to Settings → Sender Authentication → Authenticate Your Domain.
- Enter your domain and follow the instructions to add the DNS records provided by SendGrid.
- Click Verify.
Note: Domain Authentication is strongly recommended — it improves deliverability and removes “via sendgrid.net” from your outgoing emails.
Single Sender Verification
- Go to Settings → Sender Authentication → Verify a Single Sender.
- Enter your name, email address, and company details.
- Click Create.
- Check your inbox for a verification email from SendGrid and click the confirmation link.
Step 2 — Generate an API key in SendGrid
- Go to Settings → API Keys.
- Click Create API Key.
- Give it a name — for example, Voizee.
- Select Full Access or restrict to Mail Send permissions.
- Click Create & View and copy the API key.
Note: Copy the API key immediately — SendGrid only shows it once.
Step 3 — Connect SendGrid to Voizee
- Log in to Voizee
- Go to Settings → Organization → Integrations and find the SendGrid tile.
- Click Connect (or Manage if already connected).
- Paste your API key into the API Key field.
- Click Save.
Note: Once connected, mass email campaigns will be delivered via SendGrid. Your API key is encrypted and can be removed at any time.
