Accessing the Tool

API Keys

The Username will reflect apikey.

 The Password will be a password token generated by the API Key in SendGrid.

Please Note: These credentials should never be manually changed by a system user. 

Two-Factor Authentication Guide

Users will be required to enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) when logging into the SendGrid Client Portal. This is to ensure that only those with an authentication code, generated at each login, can access the account.

 Before setting up Two Factor Authentication, the User will need access to the account email address listed on file in SendGrid.

Verify SendGrid Account Email Address

1. Visit the Account Details page to review

1. the email address under Your Account > Personal Info within SendGrid.

2. If needed, click the pencil icon to update the email address on file.

3. Once updated, send a confirmation email as a test to confirm your email address.

4. Upon receival, click the link in the email to confirm this email address change.

Setup Two-Factor Authentication

Once access to the account has been confirmed, the next step is to select the verification method when using the Two Factor Authentication:

use a code (SMS Text Message) sent to your mobile phone or

generate a verification code with the Authy App. The Authy App allows authentication over WiFi for users that do not have cellular service and allows the user to send the code as an SMS message. If using Authy, enable the Authy backup feature to help prevent getting locked out of the account.

Upon initial login at https://app.sendgrid.com/ , the Security Checkup page will appear.

Click, Get Started.

Click Yes, Continue to 2FA

as Clubessential has migrated to utilizing API Keys.
