SendGrid Skills
Route SendGrid sending and inbound-email tasks to the matching setup and implementation guide.
What it does
Route SendGrid email tasks to the appropriate feature guide: `send-email` for transactional messages, notifications, simple sends, and dynamic templates, or `sendgrid-inbound` for Inbound Parse Webhooks, MX setup, and incoming-email parsing. Common setup stores `SENDGRID_API_KEY` in an environment variable; SDK installation details live in `send-email`.
When to use it
- Transactional receipts and password resets
- Notification emails with dynamic templates
- Inbound Parse Webhook configuration
- MX setup for programmatic email intake
