SendGrid
Update/add SendGrid contacts with their unique share link and referrer information.
Note: The SendGrid integration is only available to users on a GrowSurf paid plan.

Sync with your SendGrid List

Step 1: In Campaign Editor > 4. Options > Integrations, open the SendGrid integration card and enter your SendGrid API key (click here to create your SendGrid API key)
IMPORTANT: Because the GrowSurf data sync to SendGrid only occurs after you have connected with the integration, it is imperative to connect with the integration BEFORE importing participants. Click here to see remedy options if you have already imported participants into your campaign but would like to sync their GrowSurf data to SendGrid.
Step 2: Once connected, choose the SendGrid list that you want to automatically sync to. GrowSurf will add/update your SendGrid contacts every time a new participant is added or referred to your referral campaign.
Step 3: Save changes. You should now see a screen that looks like the one below:

*GrowSurf Referral Status can be the following: CREDIT_PENDING (This participant must still trigger a referral for their referrer to receive referral credit), CREDIT_AWARDED (This participant triggered a referral and their referrer received referral credit), CREDIT_EXPIRED (This participant did not trigger the referral credit within the referral credit expiration window so their referrer did not receive referral credit).
You can use these new properties in your SendGrid email templates. Whether you launch a new marketing campaign or have an automated drip campaign going on, make sure to always includegrowsurf_share_url in your emails to provoke your contacts to make referrals!

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If the new participant isn't being added to SendGrid, or if they are being added but their unique referral link isn't being synced to SendGrid:
    • Activity logs will denote if a participant was added to SendGrid or if they failed to be added. (In the case of failure, GrowSurf will re-attempt to add them for 7 days).
