SendGrid

Create an API Key for SendGrid

  1. In your SendGrid account, navigate to Settings > API Keys.
  2. Click Create API Key, and give the key a name. The name doesn't matter much — this is just for organizing multiple keys if you have them.

  3. Grant the necessary access.
    1. Click Restricted Access.
      SendGrid interface showing the option for Restricted Access on the Create API Key page
    2. Scroll down, and expand the Mail Send section.
    3. For Mail Send, move the bar all the way to the right to give full access.
      SendGrid interface showing the Mail Send option bar fully selected
    4. Scroll to the bottom, and click Create & View.
      SendGrid interface showing the Create & View button at the bottom of the page
  4. Move your mouse over the new API Key, and click to copy the text of the Key.
    CAUTION: This is your last opportunity to copy the key. If you miss this step, you have to start over.
    SendGrid interface showing "API Key Created" with the key text available to copy
    You'll see a confirmation to the right of the Key once you've successfully copied it.
  5. Send the API Key to Support. This is all we need to set up your new SendGrid account in MinistryPlatform!
    Note: Please send us the copied text, rather than a screenshot. Typing a key this long is prone to error.
