SendGrid

Connect SendGrid

SendGrid is built to deliver transactional mail reliably, but an order has to arrive to kick it off. Schakel connects your sales from Bol.com and your webshop to SendGrid, so a confirmation or shipping mail through your dynamic template goes out automatically when an order happens, with the order data already filled in.

    If you also want marketing, buyers can be added as a contact in your SendGrid Marketing list.

Why connect SendGrid

  • Reliable delivery of your confirmation and shipping mails.
  • Order mails with the data already filled in, no retyping.

SendGrid, common questions

Can I send a confirmation mail on a Bol.com order?

Yes, as far as Bol.com shares an email address. The order triggers your SendGrid template with the order data already filled in.

Does SendGrid do newsletters too?

SendGrid is strongest at transactional mail. For marketing, buyers can be added as contacts, but for elaborate campaigns a tool like Mailchimp or Brevo fits better.

What do I need to start?

A SendGrid account with an API key, a verified sender domain and your template. Request the connector and get access.
