Intro

SendGrid is a cloud-based SMTP provider that enables you to send email without having to maintain email servers. SendGrid manages all technical details, from scaling the infrastructure to ISP outreach and reputation monitoring to whitelist services and real time analytics. Use the SendGrid Webhook connector to subscribe to SendGrid’s event notifications. To learn more about the SendGrid Webhook API, visit their page (https://SendGrid Webhook.com/docs/API_Reference/index.html ). You connect to your SendGrid Webhook account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the SendGrid Webhook connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Update Method

When Domo retrieves your data from the source, you can determine how the new data is imported into the current DataSet. For this connector we offer Append and Replace option.

Append: This method takes your new data and adds it to your current DataSet. This creates duplicate data entries.

Replace: This method takes your current DataSet and replaces with new data. This may result in some data loss.
