“If your emails don’t make it to the Inbox,

you are talking to yourself. Not cool.”- Email Sending Ninja, Elmer Thomas

I want you to stop talking to yourself.

There’s a problem with email…... 20% of legitimate emails never reach the inbox.

... email is a pain for developers.... your app NEEDS email.

SendGrid has sent over 90 Billion Emails
