SendGrid

This component uses SendGrid, a popular email service, to send emails as part of your Nappai automations. This means you can automatically send emails to notify users, share reports, or trigger other actions within your workflows.

Relationship with SendGrid

This component connects to the SendGrid API to send emails. You don’t need to know anything about SendGrid’s API directly; this component handles all the technical details for you.

Inputs

  • To: The email address(es) of the recipient(s). This is required. You can add multiple recipients by separating their email addresses with commas.
  • Cc: (Optional) Email address(es) to send a copy of the email to.
  • Bcc: (Optional) Email address(es) to send a blind carbon copy (bcc) of the email to. Recipients listed here won’t be visible to other recipients.
  • Subject: The subject line of your email.
  • Body: The main text content of your email.
  • Sender: The email address the email appears to be sent from.
  • Attachments: (Optional) Files to attach to your email. Specify the file paths.
  • Mail Configuration: (Advanced) Allows you to use pre-defined email settings. Contact your administrator for more information on using this option.
  • Credential: (Required) This is a unique identifier that connects your Nappai account to your SendGrid account. Your administrator will provide this.

Outputs

  • Mail Status: This shows whether the email was sent successfully (True) or not (False). If it fails, check the error messages in the Nappai dashboard for more information.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to send a daily report to your team. You would configure the SendGrid component in your Nappai workflow like this:

  • To: team@yourcompany.com
  • Subject: Daily Report
  • Body: Here’s your daily report… (This would likely be dynamically generated by another Nappai component)
  • Sender: reports@yourcompany.com
  • Credential: [Your Credential ID provided by your administrator]

Nappai will then send the email using SendGrid.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Always test your email configuration before using it in a critical workflow.
  • Use clear and concise subject lines.
  • Make sure your sender email address is properly configured in your SendGrid account.
  • For large email sends, consider using the mail_config input for optimized performance.

Security Considerations

  • Protect your Credential ID. Do not share it with unauthorized individuals.
  • Regularly review your SendGrid account settings for security best practices. Contact your administrator if you have any concerns.
