Enter Your API Key

Paste your SendGrid API key and click Connect.

You’re Connected

Akol can now send emails through your SendGrid account.

Make sure you have a verified sender identity in SendGrid before using this integration. Emails will be sent from your verified sender address.

Troubleshooting

Emails Not Being Sent

  1. Verify your API key is valid and has “Mail Send” permissions
  2. Check that you have a verified sender identity in SendGrid
  3. Look at your SendGrid activity feed for delivery errors

Emails Going to Spam

  1. Complete your SendGrid sender authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
  2. Use a custom sending domain instead of sendgrid.net

Template Not Working

  1. Make sure the template ID is correct and the template is active
  2. Check that the template’s dynamic fields match the data Akol sends

Tips

  1. Set up sender authentication — Authenticate your domain for better deliverability
  2. Create branded templates — Design SendGrid templates that match your brand
  3. Monitor deliverability — Check your SendGrid dashboard for bounce and spam rates
