When Sendgrid and Monday operate independently, critical email engagement data, such as bounce rates and open rates, is not reflected in project timelines. Marketing teams manually track email performance in spreadsheets, leading to discrepancies in project status updates. This results in wasted hours for project managers who must reconcile these figures manually, often leading to outdated project information and misalignment on campaign performance.

Top Ways to Automate SendGrid & Monday

  • Automated Email Notifications: Instantly notify your team on monday.com when a new email campaign is launched in SendGrid, ensuring everyone is aligned and aware of marketing efforts.
  • Performance Tracking Dashboards: Automatically pull email performance metrics from SendGrid into monday.com, allowing project managers to visualize campaign success and make data-driven decisions without manual data entry.
  • Task Creation from Email Responses: Create tasks in monday.com directly from responses received in SendGrid, streamlining follow-up actions and ensuring no lead is left unattended.

How to Build the SendGrid → Monday Sync

  1. Set up a webhook in Sendgrid to listen for events such as 'bounce' and 'open'. Use the endpoint: https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/user/webhooks/event/settings to configure this.
  2. In the webhook configuration, ensure you select the relevant events to monitor. The payload will include the email address, event type, and timestamp.
  3. For each event received, extract the necessary data from the payload. For example, for a bounce event, capture data.email, data.event, and data.timestamp.
  4. Next, use the Monday API to create an item in the relevant board. POST to: https://api.monday.com/v2 with a GraphQL mutation that includes the extracted data. The mutation should look like this: mutation { create_item (board_id: YOUR_BOARD_ID, item_name: "Email Bounce for data.email", column_values: "{\"bounce_date\": \"data.timestamp\", \"email\": \"data.email\"}") { id } }.
  5. Test the integration by sending a test email through Sendgrid and verifying that the corresponding item is created in Monday with accurate data.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the data types in the Monday columns match the payload data types from Sendgrid. For instance, if you are sending a timestamp, confirm that Monday is set to accept that format.
  • When configuring the webhook, be cautious about the event types selected. If you miss critical events like 'open', you will not capture essential engagement metrics.
  • Monitor the payload size as Sendgrid may send large amounts of data. If the payload exceeds limits set in Monday, it could result in failed API calls.
