Normally, Method will send out email for you. However, if you'd prefer to have Method use SendGrid to send email, this article will outline how to set that up.
Generate an API within SendGrid
Setting up Method to use SendGrid requires you to generate an API as well as enable 2FA in your SendGrid account.
Create a SendGrid API Key and don’t lose it. Learn more from SendGrid.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication in SendGrid. Learn more from SendGrid.
Setup SendGrid Server in Method
Using the information from SendGrid's article "Integrating with the SMTP API," we can set up the email server in Method.
In Method, click your Profile icon in the upper-right and then click Account Settings.
Scroll down until you find Communication. Select it to go to its settings.
Within the Email settings, by the Email section, select Setup my own custom server.
A section called Custom servers will appear. Select Other.
A pop up will show, with a dropdown for Other providers. Select SendGrid.
Now is the time to enter in the API Key you generated in SendGrid earlier. Paste the API Key in here. Click the Test button to ensure the connection works. Once everything is working, click the Add button.
Once configured, SendGrid's server details will display and you are ready to go. At any time, click the pencil icon to re-enter your API key.
