SendGrid Connector

Intro

SendGrid is a cloud-based SMTP provider that allows users to send email without having to maintain email servers. Use Domo's SendGrid connector to retrieve data about your SendGrid account, such as statistics, bounces, spam reports, unsubscribes, and other information. To learn more about the SendGrid API, visit their page (https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/index.html).

You connect to your SendGrid account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the SendGrid connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your SendGrid account and create a DataSet, you must have a SendGrid username and password.

Connecting to Your SendGrid Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the SendGrid Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your SendGrid account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
Username	Enter your SendGrid username.
Password	Enter your SendGrid password.

Once you have entered valid SendGrid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new SendGrid DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
