SendGrid Integration

ℹ️ This feature is only available from Claromentis 8.13.17

What is SendGrid?

Twilio SendGrid is a cloud-based email service with many features including reporting and API. 
Claromentis uses SendGrid by default to deliver system emails from our SAAS (Software As A Service) infrastructure for many customers as part of the basic offering.

However, there are certain limits to what information we can share with individual customers.

What's the benefit of your own Integration.?

Having your own dedicated account with SendGrid allows you to access advanced features such as reporting and troubleshooting dedicated to you from the SendGrid portal.
