How to configure different event webhooks in Sendgrid
Updated: Jul 16
SendGrid is a cloud-based SMTP provider for transactional and marketing email. You can send email via SMTP relay or through the web API.
When an email is processed, events are generated. There are two types of events: delivery and engagement. Delivery events indicate the status of the email delivered. Engagement events specify how the recipient interacts with the email.
Then, you can configure Sendgrid’s Event Webhooks to notify a custom URL via HTTP POST with information about these events.
To configure the event webhook, go to Settings > Mail Settings in the SendGrid UI. Then, turn on Event Webhook and fill it with the URL of your choice in the HTTP POST URL field.
Sub-users are another cool feature of Sendgrid. They help you segment your email sending and API activity. You can create sub-users for each of the different types of emails you send.
The good thing is that you can set up different Event Webhooks for each sub-user. In the same way,
You configure it in the parent account, you can do it in the sub-user’s account configuration.
