What is SendGird?

 

SendGrid is a cloud-based email service provider that enables businesses and developers to send, receive, and track emails on their applications.

It provides an API that simplifies the process of sending, receiving, and tracking emails within an application. With SendGrid, developers can move away from having to rely on SMTP servers or other mail services to manage their emails and instead focus on what they do best – developing applications. 

SendGrid has a host of features that can help developers improve the deliverability of their emails by using advanced analytics tools to monitor user engagement. 

The service also offers a suite of APIs for integrating with third-party services such as Salesforce, Slack, and Dropbox. In addition, its robust infrastructure ensures high performance and reliability for transactional emails like password resets and purchase confirmations. 

Finally, SendGrid provides detailed reporting capabilities so users can analyze insights about their campaigns in order to optimize them over time.
