{ }

add_authenticated_domain_to_subuser#

This endpoint allows you to associate a specific domain whitelabel with a subuser.

A domain whitelabel allows you to remove the “via” or “sent on behalf of” message that your recipients see when they read your emails. Whitelabeling a domain allows you to replace sendgrid.net with your personal sending domain. You will be required to create a subdomain so that SendGrid can generate the DNS records which you must give to your host provider. If you choose to use Automated Security, SendGrid will provide you with 3 CNAME records. If you turn Automated Security off, you will be given 2 TXT records and 1 MX record.

Domain whitelabels can be associated with (i.e. assigned to) subusers from a parent account. This functionality allows subusers to send mail using their parent's whitelabels. To associate a whitelabel with a subuser, the parent account must first create the whitelabel and validate it. The the parent may then associate the whitelabel via the subuser management tools.

For more information on whitelabeling, please see our User Guide

URI Parameters#

{
  "username" : "Username to associate with the domain whitelabel."
}

add_branded_link_to_subuser#

This endpoint allows you to associate a link whitelabel with a subuser account.

Link whitelables can be associated with subusers from the parent account. This functionality allows
subusers to send mail using their parent's linke whitelabels. To associate a link whitelabel, the parent account
must first create a whitelabel and validate it. The parent may then associate that whitelabel with a subuser via the API or the Subuser Management page in the user interface.

Email link whitelabels allow all of the click-tracked links you send in your emails to include the URL of your domain instead of sendgrid.net.

For more information, please see our User Guide.

{
  "username" : "The username of the subuser account that you want to associate the link whitelabel with."
}

add_email_to_unsubscribe_group#

This endpoint allows you to add email addresses to an unsubscribe group.

If you attempt to add suppressions to a group that has been deleted or does not exist, the suppressions will be added to the global suppressions list.

Suppressions are recipient email addresses that are added to unsubscribe groups. Once a recipient's address is on the suppressions list for an unsubscribe group, they will not receive any emails that are tagged with that unsubscribe group.

{
  "recipient_emails" : [ "string" ]
}

add_emails_to_global_unsubscribe_group#

This endpoint allows you to add one or more email addresses to the global suppressions group.

A global suppression (or global unsubscribe) is an email address of a recipient who does not want to receive any of your messages. A globally suppressed recipient will be removed from any email you send. For more information, please see our User Guide.

{
  "recipient_emails" : [ "string" ]
}

add_ip_to_authenticated_domain#

This endpoint allows you to add an IP address to a domain whitelabel.

A domain whitelabel allows you to remove the “via” or “sent on behalf of” message that your recipients see when they read your emails. Whitelabeling a domain allows you to replace sendgrid.net with your personal sending domain. You will be required to create a subdomain so that SendGrid can generate the DNS records which you must give to your host provider. If you choose to use Automated Security, SendGrid will provide you with 3 CNAME records. If you turn Automated Security off, you will be given 2 TXT records and 1 MX record.

For more information on whitelabeling, please see our User Guide

URI Parameters#

{
  "ip" : "IP to associate with the domain. Used for manually specifying IPs for custom SPF."
}

add_ip_to_pool#

This endpoint allows you to add an IP address to an IP pool.

You can add the same IP address to multiple pools. It may take up to 60 seconds for your IP address to be added to a pool after your request is made.

A single IP address or a range of IP addresses may be dedicated to an account in order to send email for multiple domains. The reputation of this IP is based on the aggregate performance of all the senders who use it.

{
  "ip" : "The IP address that you want to add to an IP pool."
}

add_ip_to_whitelist#

This endpoint allows you to add one or more IP addresses to your IP whitelist.

When adding an IP to your whitelist, include the IP address in an array. You can whitelist one IP at a time, or you can whitelist multiple IPs at once.

IP Access Management allows you to control which IP addresses can be used to access your account, either through the User Interface or the API. There is no limit to the number of IP addresses that you can add to your whitelist. It is possible to remove your own IP address from the whitelist, thus preventing yourself from accessing your account.

For more information, please see our User Guide.

{
  "ips" : [ {
    "ip" : "An IP address that you want to whitelist."
  } ]

approve_access_request#

This endpoint allows you to approve an access attempt.

Note: Only teammate admins may approve another teammate’s access request.

authenticate_domain#

This endpoint allows you to create a whitelabel for one of your domains.

If you are creating a domain whitelabel that you would like a subuser to use, you have two options:

1. Use the "username" parameter. This allows you to create a whitelabel on behalf of your subuser. This means the subuser is able to see and modify the created whitelabel.
2. Use the Association workflow (see Associate Domain section). This allows you to assign a whitelabel created by the parent to a subuser. This means the subuser will default to the assigned whitelabel, but will not be able to see or modify that whitelabel. However, if the subuser creates their own whitelabel it will overwrite the assigned whitelabel.

A domain whitelabel allows you to remove the “via” or “sent on behalf of” message that your recipients see when they read your emails. Whitelabeling a domain allows you to replace sendgrid.net with your personal sending domain. You will be required to create a subdomain so that SendGrid can generate the DNS records which you must give to your host provider. If you choose to use Automated Security, SendGrid will provide you with 3 CNAME records. If you turn Automated Security off, you will be given 2 TXT records and 1 MX record.

Each user can create up to 10 different IP pools.

IP Pools allow you to group your dedicated SendGrid IP addresses together. For example, you could create separate pools for your transactional and marketing email. When sending marketing emails, specify that you want to use the marketing IP pool. This allows you to maintain separate reputations for your different email traffic.

IP pools can only be used with whitelabeled IP addresses.

When creating an IP whitelable, you should use the same subdomain that you used when you created a domain whitelabel.

A IP whitelabel consists of a subdomain and domain that will be used to generate a reverse DNS record for a given IP. Once SendGrid has verified that the appropriate A record for the IP has been created, the appropriate reverse DNS record for the IP is generated.

For more information, please see our User Guide.

{
  "domain" : "The root, or sending, domain that will be used to send message from the IP.",

List Id:

• Send this to segment from an existing list
• Don't send this in order to segment from your entire contactdb.

Valid operators for create and update depend on the type of the field you are segmenting:

• Dates: "eq", "ne", "lt" (before), "gt" (after)
• Text: "contains", "eq" (is - matches the full field), "ne" (is not - matches any field where the entire field is not the condition value)
• Numbers: "eq", "lt", "gt"
• Email Clicks and Opens: "eq" (opened), "ne" (not opened)

Segment conditions using "eq" or "ne" for email clicks and opens should provide a "field" of either clicks.campaign_identifier or opens.campaign_identifier. The condition value should be a string containing the id of a completed campaign.

Segments may contain multiple condtions, joined by an "and" or "or" in the "and_or" field. The first condition in the conditions list must have an empty "and_or", and subsequent conditions must all specify an "and_or".

The Contacts API helps you manage your Marketing Campaigns recipients.

For more information about segments in Marketing Campaigns, please see our User Guide.
