Sendgrid Wordpress

SendGrid is a popular email service, but its WordPress plugin hasn't been updated in several years or tested with the latest 3 (as of this writing) major releases of WordPress. This guide will cover how to install and configure WP Mail SMTP to send emails from your WordPress site using Sendgrid.

Sendgrid Wordpress Plugin

A Powerful WordPress Crowdfunding Platform

The easiest way to integrate WordPress with SendGrid is by using a plugin. SendGrid offers an official tool you can use for this, but it doesn’t receive regular updates. Instead, we’re going to use the Post SMTP plugin, which you can connect to SendGrid using the API key you generated a minute ago.
MailPoet is a great way to send mail in WordPress. The best way to get MailPoet to work properly with SendGrid is; Select Third Party. Enter in SMTP hostname as smtp.sendgrid.net. Enter in your SendGrid username and API key. Select Use Web API.
We manage over 30 WordPress sites using SendGrid and I have the login information saved in my browser. Every time I go to check whether the site's SendGrid is set up after a deploy, I have to remove the password from Chrome in order to RE-paste in the correct API Key because the page automatically refreshes when I arrive.
