Connect SendGrid and describe the email flow you want in chat. Rocket generates the complete sending logic: templates, API calls, event tracking, and delivery management. > [!NOTE] > > SendGrid excels at high-volume sending and marketing campaigns. For simpler developer-focused transactional email, [Resend](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/connectors/resend.md) may be a lighter option. ## What you can do > **Transactional emails** > > Password resets, order confirmations, invoices, and account verification emails triggered by user actions. > **Marketing campaigns** > > Promotional emails, product announcements, and seasonal campaigns to segmented audiences. > **Dynamic email templates** > > Reusable templates with personalized fields like names, order numbers, and custom data. > **Analytics and delivery tracking** > > Track open rates, click rates, bounces, and delivery status for every email you send. > **Newsletter signup and delivery** > > Collect subscriber emails and send regular newsletters with rich content. ## Before you connect You need your **API key** from the SendGrid Dashboard. > **Create or copy your SendGrid API key** > > [Open](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/api-keys#creating-an-api-key) > [!WARNING] > > Never paste your SendGrid API key directly into chat. Always use the secure connection popup. If your key has been exposed, revoke it from SendGrid Settings and create a new one. > [!NOTE] > > SendGrid requires domain authentication or single-sender verification before you can send emails. Complete this in **SendGrid Settings > Sender Authentication** before connecting. ## Connect SendGrid **Web Browser** You can connect from two places - both open the same popup. **Option 1: From chat** Type a prompt that mentions SendGrid - for example, `Connect SendGrid and send an order confirmation email when a user completes checkout`.

Check [SendGrid pricing](https://sendgrid.com/en-us/pricing) for current plans. * **Manage contacts in SendGrid.** You can add subscribers through Rocket, but deleting contacts and managing suppression lists must be done in the SendGrid dashboard. * **One SendGrid account per project.** Each Rocket project connects to one SendGrid API key. Use different projects for different SendGrid accounts. ## What's next? > **[Supabase](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/connectors/supabase/overview.md)** > > Store user data and trigger emails based on database events and user actions. > **[Stripe](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/connectors/stripe.md)** > > Send payment confirmations and invoice emails after Stripe transactions. > **[Resend](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/connectors/resend.md)** > > Compare with Resend for simpler transactional email needs. > **[Google Analytics](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/connectors/google-analytics.md)** > > Track email campaign performance alongside your website analytics.
