How to Set Up SMTP for Email via SendGrid#

SendGrid, a popular email service provider, allows users to send emails via SMTP using the following configurations:

SMTP Server Details#

  • SMTP Server/Host: smtp.sendgrid.net

  • SMTP Port: 587

Authentication Information#

  • SMTP User Name: apikey

  • SMTP Password: YOUR_SENDGRID_API_KEY

Additional Information#

  • SendGrid requires the use of an API key instead of a traditional username and password for authentication. This enhances security by allowing you to restrict permissions based on your needs.

  • Ensure your application or email client is configured to use TLS encryption on port 587 to secure email transmissions.
