Click “Create & View”. You will then be directed to a page containing your API key.
Add that same API key to Dittofeed on the settings page /dashboard/settings#email-channel.
Finally, select SendGrid as your default email provider.
That’s it! At this point you should be able send emails with Dittofeed and SendGrid.
Tracking
In order to receive sendgrid tracking data, you have to create a webhook in SendGrid.
Go to the Webhook settings page. https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/mail_settings/webhook_settings
Create a new webhook with the following actions to be posted.
- Opened
- Clicked
- Spam Reports
- Dropped
- Bounced
- Delivered
With the Post URL https://app.dittofeed.com/api/public/webhooks/sendgrid or your own custom domain if you’re self-hosting.
Enable the “Signature Verification” feature. Save the webhook.
Now, re-open the webhook’s settings. You should see your “Verification Key”.
Copy that key and paste it into Dittofeed’s settings page in the “Webhook Key” field /dashboard/settings#email-title and click save.
Here’s a video showing the full setup.
