Hello,
We are using SendGrid API-key as connection-login in E-Mail Marketing,

The question is, if You have a plans to do same for SMTP, so forms and orders can be send thrue SendGrid via same API-key login?

Hi Andrejs

Just change the SMTP settings under web & http to use the credentials from Sendgrid and their SMTP host.

The main difference is that web & http/mails is sending one mail at a time using SMTP protocol, whereas the email marketing is using the Sendgrid API to mass mail. But the service can be used in both ways.

Hello Nicolai, Thx for fast reply,

If we activate 2FA on SendGrid (witch they are pushing) then Username and Password in SMTP will not work, so we need to use API-key only, just like in email marketing, but in SMTP settings there is no API-key field, and adding the API-key in Username and/or Password field do not work.

Hi Andrejs,

Did you try with "apikey" as username and the actual key as password?
