With the SendGrid app in Make, you can manage the contacts, bounces, blocks, and global suppressions in your SendGrid account. 

# Requirements

To use SendGrid app in Make, you must have a [SendGrid account](https://signup.sendgrid.com/).

# Connect SendGrid and Make 

To get started, you must first create a connection between \{app name} and Make, allowing the two services to communicate.

To create the connection, you need to:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
[Obtain your API key in SendGrid](docId\:sOgPu5FSll2CR8I4cJVxV).
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
[Create the connection in Make](docId\:sOgPu5FSll2CR8I4cJVxV).
:::
::::

## Obtain your API key in SendGrid

Before you create the connection in Make, you should first obtain an API key in your SendGrid account.

To obtain the API key:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your SendGrid account.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the left menu, go to **Settings**, and open the **API Keys** dialog.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click on the **Create API Key** button in the top-right corner.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Create the API Key with Full Access permissions.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Copy the **API key** value and store it in a safe place.
:::
::::

You'll use this value in the **API key** connection field in Make.

## Create the connection in Make 

Once you have your SendGrid API key, you're ready to create the connection in Make. 

To create the connection:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in to your Make account, add a SendGrid module to your scenario, and click **Create a connection**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Optional: In the ​​**Connection name​​** field, enter a name for the connection.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the ​​**API key** field, enter the API key you copied from your SendGrid account. 
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **Save**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.
:::
::::

You've successfully created the connection and can now use the SendGrid app in your scenarios. If you want to make changes to your connection in the future, follow the steps [here](docId\:SO88FM6pkT0G-adKDDfzZ).
