Configure your Send From emails in Manage > Organization & Facility Settings > Facility:[location] > Emails

Import Sendgrid marketing contacts
Enable SendGrid “email address” signup forms embedded on your website to be ingested into Redpoint, creating customer records for downstream marketing use.
You can embed a SendGrid form on your site and periodically pull newly captured email addresses into Redpoint. The tool can optionally delete contacts from SendGrid after ingestion, allowing you to operate on SendGrid’s marketing plan.
This operates independently of Dispatches, but provides a mechanism to collect email addresses via your website and make them available in Redpoint for activation through Dispatches.
In Manage (Menu) > Organization & Facility Settings > Integrations (Dropdown) > Sendgrid Automation and Campaign Email > Import Contacts (Button)
