Step by Step Integration SendGrid or mailChimp in Staging?

Sahil Dec 20 2020 at 04:17

Problem:

I am trying to integrate SendGrind to my instance, but as the instance is in Staging mode. I cannot access DNS records to update it with CNAMES.
Due to which I am blocked.

I tried using api notification with both send grid and mail chimp but I was blocked at the step 2a GRAPHQL.

Objective
What I am trying to accomplish is the following,
Have a user enter an email, send a link to the user entered email address.

Can you please help?

Thank You!!!

Hello Sahil,

At the bottom of https://documentation.platformos.com/developer-guide/notifications/creating-email-notification#content it mentions "Please note: if you are working on a staging environment, you also need to configure a test email, because we intercept all emails on staging to avoid spamming real users during tests."

Have you done that yet?

Sendgrid is not going to work on staging, it will send all emails to one email address as JJ has said.
