sendgrid.md

• Login to sendgrid

• From the menu on the lefthand side click on Email API > Integration Guide

• For VAP projects:

  • Select SMTP Relay
  • Name the key (usually the short name of the VAP instance)
  • Click 'Create Key'
  • From the 'Configure your application section' copy the Password (this is actually your API key)
  • In Hatchbox (or SSH into the server for legacy versions) put the API key in your ENVs
  • The key is SENDGRID_PASSWORD and the value is the API key you just generated.

• For Mircosites (jazz-presentation-site or jazz-mirf)

  • Select Web API
  • Select the Node.js integration
  • Name the key (something unique to the instance)
  • Click 'Create Key'
  • Copy the API key
  • In Netlify go to Site setting > Build & deploy > Environment
  • Add or edit the ENV variables with your API key
  • The key is SENDGRID_API_KEY and the value is the API key you just generated.

• After making the proper update to your ENVs check "I've integrated the code above"

• Click 'Next: Verify Integration'

• You will be prompted to send an email from your app. If it is successful click 'Verify Integration'.

• Sendgrid will confirm everything worked. If it did you will see a 'It worked!' message, otherwise you'll see some debug steps.
