Simple and seamless SendGrid Integration Add-on

Easily send emails through Twilio SendGrid from your Claris FileMaker database.

The Kyo SendGrid Add-on for Claris FileMaker makes it easy to connect your FileMaker applications with the power of Twilio SendGrid without complex setup or external dependencies. This free tool enables developers and teams to send rich, reliable, and trackable emails directly from their FileMaker solutions.

What It Is

This add-on is a pre-built, ready-to-use integration module that connects any FileMaker database to Twilio SendGrid’s API. It provides a simple and consistent set of functions for sending emails, transactional messages, and automated notifications from within FileMaker, all using standard scripts and JSON payloads.

What It Does
• Send single or bulk emails directly through SendGrid’s REST API
• Integrate seamlessly into existing FileMaker layouts and workflows
• Requires only a valid SendGrid API key. No plug-ins or server-side dependencies

The add-on includes a clear script and a place for you to enter sample data to test out integration.

How It Works
1. Install the add-on by clicking the "Create Add-On" button
2. Install the add-on to your solution
3. Integrate "SendGrid - Send Email" script within your solution using the "SendGrid - Wrapper Script" as an example

All communication is handled through FileMaker’s built-in Insert from URL function, ensuring compatibility with both FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server. The integration uses native cURL options and JSON formatting for full transparency and control.
