Adding the SendGrid Connector

Adding the SendGrid Connector

We have added SendGrid to our growing list of connectors! 

With more on the road map soon, we now have the SendGrid connector. 

What is a connector? 

Visual Visitor offers a great feature called Connectors. Connectors automatically connect emails and newsletters using programs such as Constant Contact, which we will discuss in this article, to get your leads into your mail platform easily.  

These identified leads automatically push into your connector’s selected mail list. The lead information sent to your system will include names, email addresses, and physical addresses. Additionally, the connectors will query your list to prevent any duplicates from being sent. 

How to Set Up Your Connector  

For this article, we will be using SendGrid as our connector example. The process is about the same for the other connectors as well, and we will go over those in separate articles.  








Step 1:

From your dashboard select the Configurations tab and select Connectors. You'll see a list of many other options. Select the connector you want to connect to. For this example, we are selecting SendGrid.







Step 2:

 After selecting SendGrid it will ask you to fill in your Apikey. If you are unsure of where to find that code click here. SendGrid has an easy article to guide you through it. You can also select: "How to get your connectors information" from the connector page. All the connectors have this option to show you how to find what you need from each individual site.  







Step 3:

After you've selected 'Connect' another box will appear and you want to select the mail list you want your contacts to be sent to. 







Step 4:

You will have another box pop up confirming that your future leads will be automatically added to the list you selected. If you are happy with where the contacts will be going hit ok.  







Step 5:

If everything looks correct select 'Close'.







You're connected!

Congratulations! If you see SendGrid with a green check mark under Active Connectors you have successfully added your connector. Your identified leads should begin filtering into your mailing list immediately.
