What You Can Do with the SendGrid API
By using the SendGrid API, you can automate tasks such as contact management, email sending, and obtaining statistics, making it very convenient!
Regarding contact management, you can automatically register information from other apps into SendGrid. For example, leads registered in CRM, SFA, or databases, as well as information about customers from e-commerce sites, can be automatically added to SendGrid's contact list. Additionally, you can automatically register information from web forms or received emails into the contact list, which should help streamline contact management!
Moreover, you can automate sending emails to contacts registered in the contact list and collecting statistics such as open rates and click rates for sent emails using the SendGrid API. Try automating tasks according to your business needs!
Who Should Use the SendGrid API
Those conducting email marketing using SendGrid
Those who want to centrally manage lead information
Those who want to speed up follow-ups with leads and customers
Those considering integrating existing systems with SendGrid
How to Use the SendGrid API
This time, we will use a service called Yoom to utilize the SendGrid API without coding.
1. Select "My Apps" from the left menu, then click "+ New Connection" on the right side of the screen.
2. Select SendGrid from the new connection candidates in My Apps. ※ You can narrow down the candidates by entering the app name in the search box.
3. Enter the account name and access token, then click "Add". ※ Enter a management name for the account name. ※ For the access token field, enter the value of the API key created by referring to the explanation in the blue frame in the image below or the "Creating API Keys" section in this official user manual article.
The integration is now complete. You can now use the API provided by SendGrid from Yoom!
Examples of Automation Achievable with the SendGrid API
Click on the banner of the template you want to automate or are interested in to connect to each introduction page. If you want to start setting up immediately, click "Try it out".
Sync with CRM or SFA
By integrating the CRM or SFA API with the SendGrid API, you can automatically add new contacts to SendGrid using the information when leads or customers are registered in CRM or SFA.
By automatically adding new lead information to the contact list, marketers should be able to keep the target list for email campaigns always up to date. Automating the process from lead acquisition to starting email marketing can save the trouble of transcription and verification work, potentially improving work efficiency.
Additionally, if you use SendGrid for sending sales or support emails to customers, automatically registering customer information registered in CRM or SFA to the recipient list allows for centralized data management. This should reduce situations where specific customers do not receive information due to registration omissions.
Use the integration below to establish a system where you can register information in the list as soon as it is acquired, allowing you to appropriately and quickly distribute emails about new project launches or regular information distribution to leads and customers.
Sync with the Database
By utilizing the SendGrid API, you can automatically add contacts to SendGrid based on the information in your database. If you manage lead or customer information in your database, the following template is recommended!
When managing the same information across multiple tools, mistakenly registering an email address can not only prevent the intended recipient from receiving information but also risk informing unintended parties with extra information. For example, campaign announcements might not reach the intended recipients, resulting in lost sales, or they might be sent to unintended parties, reducing profit margins. By automating the process and eliminating manual entry, you can reduce the risk of registration errors, omissions, and duplicate registrations, thereby aiming to improve data accuracy.
Sync with EC tools and POS systems
By integrating the SendGrid API with the APIs of EC tools and POS systems, you can automatically register the information of customers and members as contacts. Once registration is completed quickly through automation, you can smoothly send welcome messages to new members or special offers to first-time buyers via email. This can facilitate smooth communication with customers. Additionally, eliminating the need for registration tasks may reduce the workload for EC site operators and store sales staff. This could create an environment where staff can focus on their primary tasks, such as sales management and customer service.
Sync with Web Forms and Email Software
By using the SendGrid API, you can automatically create contacts based on responses from web forms or information from received emails. Once a form is submitted or an email is received, the contact registration is completed automatically, allowing for smooth sending of welcome emails and follow-up emails. For example, if you can start providing information when a lead shows interest, you can quickly begin building relationships with potential customers. Additionally, if manual registration is no longer necessary, it can reduce human errors such as transcription mistakes or registration omissions, preventing the loss of lead information.
If you prepare SendGrid templates in advance according to the content of web forms and expected emails, you should be able to respond quickly and consistently to the needs of the recipient. Furthermore, by automating actions up to sending the initial follow-up email, it can be convenient to prevent missed or delayed responses.
Summary
This time, we introduced what can be done using the SendGrid API, how to integrate it with other app APIs, and examples of its use. By using the SendGrid API, you can automate contact management, email sending, and obtaining statistical information. In particular, automating the addition of contacts should streamline information management and customer follow-up. If you are in charge of marketing, sales, or customer support that involves email distribution, please give it a try! With Yoom, integration settings can be easily done.

Until now, I have experienced office work at specialized trading companies and in the EC industry.
The work I was in charge of covered a wide range of tasks, such as sales office work, accounting, general affairs, human resources, and legal affairs.
We worked to improve the efficiency of individual tasks, but I think the work could proceed more conveniently by using various support tools and Yoom...
I would be happy if I could send out an introduction article on Yoom that makes use of my work experience and help everyone proceed smoothly with their work.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
