:::note
This connector is built by UiPath and receives official support selectively. The connector supports a limited set of commonly used APIs for the target application and may cover most typical use cases. Also, they are retained in a stable state until the requirements for a new version release are met.

## Authentication

Before automating processes, you need to establish a connection with your SendGrid instance. Step-by-step instructions are
available in the [SendGrid authentication](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/uipath-twilio-sendgrid-authentication#sendgrid-authentication) page.

## Events

The SendGrid connector does not support events.

## Activity package

You can use the connection to enable the [SendGrid activities](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/uipath-twilio-sendgrid-activities) in UiPath® Studio and build automations for crucial tasks at all stages of
email campaigns. These activities allow you to execute create, read, update, and
delete operations on your SendGrid objects.

## Provider documentation

The UiPath connector is compatible with the SendGrid v3 REST API. Learn more about it at the [SendGrid website](https://docs.sendgrid.com/api-reference/how-to-use-the-sendgrid-v3-api/authentication).
