SendGrid
We recommend using SendGrid for Platform email. SendGrid provides transactional and bulk email, and MinistryPlatform supports extended email statuses when utilizing SendGrid for outgoing mail. Want to get updates about what's happening with your messages after you press send? Use the Message Recap Report to get updates 24 and 48 hours after your messages are sent.
There is no SendGrid Sync Tool. Mailing lists can be managed via the Subscribe to Publication and My Subscriptions Widgets as well as Publications in the Platform.
Recommended MinistryPlatform Configuration
- Server: smtp.sendgrid.net
- User Name: apikey
- Password: <api key> (see Create an API Key for SendGrid)
- Port: 587
- SSL/TLS: Optional. Note that MinistryPlatform only uses the SMTP protocol; it does not use TLS.
