# SendGrid

> Let your Marketing assistant read your recent sends and draft email campaigns in SendGrid. Every send waits for your Approve.

SendGrid is a service for sending email at scale. Once you connect it, your assistants can review what you sent recently and draft the next campaign. Sending is always your decision.

## Which assistants use it

- [Marketing](/docs/personas/marketing)
- [Support](/docs/personas/support)

Marketing works with campaigns and Support sends customer updates. The CEO assistant can see the connection too, so it knows where to send a campaign request.

## What assistants can do

| Ability | How it runs |
| --- | --- |
| List your recent sends | Reads on its own |
| Draft a campaign and show you the recipients | Reads on its own (nothing is sent) |
| Send a campaign | Waits for your Approve |

## Setup

1. In SendGrid, open the settings page for tokens and create a sending token. Give it permission to send mail and to read your send history, and nothing more.
2. Open [Integrations](https://stellarfirm.ai/app/integrations) in StellarFirm.
3. Pick SendGrid.
4. Paste the sending token.
5. Press Connect.

SendGrid shows a new token only once, so copy it before you leave its page.

## Permissions

- Listing sends and drafting campaigns reads on its own. A draft sends nothing.
- A send always waits for your Approve. Sending also stays off until you allow it, so a fresh connection cannot send by accident.
- The [approvals](/docs/ceo/approvals) page explains where the request appears and how to answer it.

## Good to know

- Scope the token to the least it needs. If something looks wrong, delete the token in SendGrid and the connection stops working at once.
- Only connect one sending service unless you really use both. [Resend](/docs/integrations/resend) does the same job.
- Ask for the recipient list and the full text in the same message as the draft, so you review everything in one place.

## Prompts to try

```prompt title="Draft a newsletter"
Marketing, draft this month's newsletter about [topic] and show me the recipients and the full text. Do not send until I Approve.
```

```prompt title="Summarise recent sends"
Marketing, list our recent sends and tell me what we have been talking about too often. Read only.
```

```prompt title="Prepare a re-engagement email"
Marketing, draft a short email for customers who have not opened anything from us lately. Show me the recipients first and wait for my Approve.
```
