What is SendGrid ?

• Cloud based SMTP email Provider– Transactional: Registration, forgotten

passwords, account notifications.

• Massively Scalable• Analytics on the emails you send

– Unsubscribes, bounces …etc.

Why not build it myself ?

• Focus on your core application

• Maintaining Email Infrastructure Sucks!– Costly, Time-consuming, Boring!!

• 20% of legitimate email goes to spam

Some of our APIs

• SMTP API• Web API• Parse Webhook (Cool!)• Event Webhook
