Sendgrid

This page contains the setup guide and reference information for the Sendgrid source connector.

  • Sendgrid Account
  • Create Sendgrid API Key with the following permissions:
  • Read-only access to all resources
  • Full access to marketing resources
  1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud account or navigate to the Airbyte Open Source dashboard.
  2. In the left navigation bar, click Sources. In the top-right corner, click + New source.
  3. On the Set up the source page, enter the name for the Sendgrid connector and select Sendgrid from the Source type dropdown.
  4. Enter your api_key.
  5. Enter your start_date.
  6. Click Set up source.

The Sendgrid source connector supports the following sync modes:

While you can set up the Sendgrid connector using any Salesforce user with read permission, we recommend creating a dedicated read-only user for Airbyte. This allows you to granularly control the which resources Airbyte can read.

The API key should be read-only on all resources except Marketing, where it needs Full Access.

Expand to see details about Sendgrid connector limitations and troubleshooting.

The connector is restricted by normal Sendgrid requests limitation.

  • Legacy marketing campaigns are not supported by this source connector. Sendgrid provides two different kinds of marketing campaigns, "legacy marketing campaigns" and "new marketing campaigns". If you are seeing a 403 FORBIDDEN error message for https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/campaigns, it might be because your SendGrid account uses legacy marketing campaigns.
