SendGrid automation with Bizomate

SendGrid already sends your email. Bizomate decides when, and what happens after: send the receipt when a payment lands, keep your contacts and lists current, and record every bounce the moment SendGrid reports it. Every run leaves a record you can read.

What can start a workflow

Email event
When an email SendGrid sent is delivered, opened, clicked, bounces or is marked spam

SendGrid sends events only to an address set in its own settings, so you copy the trigger's address into Settings › Mail Settings › Event Webhook once. With SendGrid's signed event webhook on and its key in Verification key, Bizomate checks every event is SendGrid's.

What a workflow can do with it

Send an email
Sends an email through SendGrid

From a sender verified in SendGrid. With a dynamic template, SendGrid fills it from Template data, and Subject and Message are not used. Attachments take files from earlier steps.

Add or update a contact
Adds someone to SendGrid's contacts, or updates them

First and last name, custom fields by their name in SendGrid, and a list to add them to if you like.

Remove a contact from a list
Takes someone off a SendGrid list; the contact stays

The contact stays in SendGrid.

How you connect it

Make an API key in SendGrid under Settings › API Keys — Full Access, or Restricted with Mail Send, and Marketing for the contact steps — and paste it into Bizomate. Bizomate asks SendGrid what the key may do before saving it, and Test answers "Reached SendGrid · 48 permissions". A key without Mail Send is still saved, with a warning, and Send an email says so until the key has it. SendGrid sends only from addresses it has verified, and counts what you send against your SendGrid plan; Bizomate does not resell it.

The key is encrypted before it is saved, used only when a step runs or a test calls SendGrid, and never shown again — not to you, your colleagues or Bizomate support. It belongs to one workspace, the Code step cannot read it, and revoking the connection wipes it at once.

In the help centre: Connect SendGrid, Send an email with SendGrid, Add, update or remove a SendGrid contact and Start a workflow from a SendGrid email event.

Questions about SendGrid

Do I set up the event webhook in SendGrid?

Once. Open the Email event trigger, copy its address, and paste it into SendGrid's Event Webhook settings. Events show on the trigger's panel straight away, and start runs once the workflow is published.

Which events can start a run?

Delivered, Opened, Clicked, Bounced or dropped, and Marked spam — one of them, or every event. Each event is one run, with the address it was about.

Which permissions does the key need?

Mail Send to send email, and Marketing for the contact and list steps. Full Access covers both. The connection test says how many permissions the key has, and warns when it cannot send mail.

Can I use my dynamic templates?

Yes. Choose the template on Send an email and fill in its values under Template data; SendGrid builds the subject and the message from the template.
