  3. Grant the necessary access.
    1. Click Restricted Access.
    2. Scroll down and click the Mail Send section.
    3. For Mail Send, click and drag the bar all the way to the right to give full access.

    6. Scroll to the bottom, and click Create & View.

    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.
