This website will help you build your own, using Website Factory.

This is necessary so the site can send e-mails from an address corresponding to your site (e.g.: contact@your-website.com)

Setting up the Sengrid account

If you’re using a subdomain (e.g.: subdomain.your-website.com), you can safely use @your-website.com addresses

  1. You will need a SendGrid account

    1. Go to https://sendgrid.com/en-us 

    2. Click on Start for free (in the top-right corner)

    3. Fill in the account details – when choosing the login e-mail, take into account that it should be an account corresponding to the organization

  2. After you logged into your SendGrid account, go to Settings > Sender Authentication where our recommendation is to authenticate the domain.
    SendGrid’s documentation can be helpful here: https://docs.sendgrid.com/ui/account-and-settings/how-to-set-up-domain-authentication
    (we don’t nee the link branding since we’re not tracking links)
    (if you want more information about Sender Identities and why we prefer domain authentication you can take a look at this page)

  3. Once the domain is verified and the checkmarks are green, you will have to go to Settings > API Keys and create a new key with Restricted Access and that should have Full Access for Mail Send.
    Here are the docs with more information: https://docs.sendgrid.com/ui/account-and-settings/api-keys#creating-an-api-key

Fill in this e-mail template:

TO: support [at] commitglobal.org

SUBJECT: “SendGrid set-up finished“

  1. Once you have that key, you can send us an e-mail with a link to it to support [at] commitglobal.org
    (if you don’t have a password manager in your organization, you can use One Time Secret to share the key with us”

  2. Send us the domain that you want set up.
