Newsletter - Sendgrid Addon

This add-on connects your newsletter plugin to a third-party email delivery service and its bounce detection system. It is for website owners who need a more reliable method to send bulk emails than their standard web hosting provides, helping to ensure messages reach the inbox.

• Dedicated Email Delivery: Routes your newsletter emails through a specialized service, which can improve deliverability by avoiding common issues like blacklisted server IPs and strict per-hour sending limits from standard hosts.
• Automatic Bounce Handling: Configures a webhook so the service reports bounced emails back to your plugin. This allows the system to automatically update subscriber statuses, helping to maintain a clean and engaged mailing list.
• API Integration: Uses the service's API for sending mail. The setup involves generating an API key with specific send permissions and entering it into the add-on's configuration panel.
• Connection Testing: Includes a test function to verify the API connection and email delivery before fully enabling the service for all outgoing newsletters, preventing widespread sending issues.
