Please note that this plugin requires PHP 7.0+ and WordPress 5.0+.

Usage

After activating the plugin, you'll need to set up SendGrid within your WordPress admin panel. This involves two main steps: generating an API key and setting up Domain Authentication.

The SendGrid Integration settings page can be found in the WordPress settings menu under the following path: wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sendgrid-integration.

Generating an API Key

1. Navigate to the SendGrid Integration settings page in your WordPress admin panel.
2. Enter your SendGrid API Key and click "Save Settings".

Domain Authentication

Domain Authentication with SendGrid involves adding a few DNS records. By doing this, you demonstrate ownership of your domain and protect your sender reputation. Follow the instructions in SendGrid's Domain Authentication documentation.

Sending Test Emails

You can also specify an email category if you would like to tag emails sent via SendGrid.

There is an option to send a test email:

1. Enter the recipient's email address.
2. Write a test message.
3. Click "Send Test Email".
