SendGrid Email Marketing
Use SendGrid for email delivery and Mailrith for the marketing workflow around it: subscribers, forms, broadcasts, sequences, automations, and reports.
- Keep SendGrid as the email delivery service you already trust.
- Use Mailrith to collect subscribers and decide who should receive each email.
- Keep service setup, limits, and delivery events visible instead of hidden inside a combined tool.
The Problem
SendGrid Handles Sending, But You Still Need A Marketing Workflow
A delivery connection is only one part of email marketing. You still need a clean place to collect subscribers, organize them, write campaigns, automate follow-up, and stop emailing people who should not receive more mail.
Sender Setup Is Separate
Set up Sender Authentication or a verified sender in SendGrid, then create an API key for Mailrith.
Subscriber Work Has To Live Somewhere
Forms, landing pages, tags, custom fields, segments, unsubscribes, and imports need a clear home.
Service Limits Still Matter
Your email delivery service can still have sending limits, approval rules, domain requirements, and policy checks.
Why Mailrith
Why Mailrith Works Well With SendGrid
Mailrith lets you keep the email delivery service you chose while giving you one clear place for email marketing work.
One Subscriber Workflow
Manage subscribers, tags, fields, forms, landing pages, broadcasts, sequences, and automations in Mailrith.
Visible Email Delivery Service
Your SendGrid account stays responsible for sending, so service setup and delivery events stay visible.
Service Choice
If your needs change later, the marketing workflow can stay in Mailrith while the delivery connection changes.
The Simple Cost Logic
Your Mailrith plan covers email marketing. SendGrid is the email delivery service and handles its own sending costs, limits, and account rules. That split makes both costs easier to understand.

Example Setup
What You Can Build With Mailrith And SendGrid
The usual setup is simple: Mailrith manages the marketing work, and the email delivery service sends the email.
- 1
Set up Sender Authentication or a verified sender in SendGrid, then create an API key for Mailrith.
- 2
Create a Mailrith email delivery connection for SendGrid.
- 3
Configure the SendGrid Event Webhook so delivery events return to Mailrith.
- 4
Create a hosted form or landing page and tag new subscribers by source or interest.
- 5
Send the first broadcast or sequence to a small, engaged segment before increasing volume.
Best Fit
- You already use SendGrid, or you want to use it as the email delivery service for marketing email.
- You want a hosted email marketing platform instead of building forms, lists, campaigns, unsubscribes, and reports yourself.
- You want to keep Mailrith pricing and email delivery costs separate.
When Another Tool May Fit Better
- You already use SendGrid Marketing Campaigns as the main place for subscribers, campaigns, and automations, and you do not want another app.
- You do not want to manage sender setup, connection details, domain authentication, or delivery events.
- You want one company to manage the email app, sending, delivery support, and billing together.
Before You Start

Create credentials for the Mailrith connection and keep them limited to the access Mailrith needs.

Questions To Consider
What To Be Honest About

SendGrid Still Needs Care
SendGrid has its own Marketing Campaigns area. Decide whether Mailrith or SendGrid is the main place for subscribers and campaign work.
Deliverability Is Shared Work
Mailrith gives the workflow, but inbox results still depend on permission, sender setup, list quality, content, sending pace, and recipient behavior.
