SendGrid has a pretty straightforward and standard SMTP configuration.
Ports
587
Username
apikey
Password
YOUR_API_KEY
Server | Host
smtp.sendgrid.com
Yes, you have to enter the keyword "apikey" literally as the username. But you will need to create an API Key to use as the password.
Here is how to create an API key to use as the password for SendGrid:
Go to https://app.sendgrid.com/guide/integrate/langs/smtp
Enter a name for your API key; this could be anything. It is just for your identification. Click "Create key". An API key will be generated.
The likes of AWS SES, SendGrid, and SendinBlue do not provide IMAP. So you will need the IMAP of another mail provider like Google, Zoho, AWS Workmail, etc. A general rule is to use the IMAP of where you receive replies to your emails, but we place no restrictions on this. You can use whatever IMAP you prefer.
If you experience any troubles, don't hesitate to contact us on chat support or email us at support@closershq.io.
Once you have the API key, enter it as the password for your SendGrid SMTP setup at https://closershq.io/. You are all set!
