SendGrid
========

[](#sendgrid)

Send your Athens framework emails using your SendGrid account.

By default, the Athens framework uses the Php command `send` to deliver emails. If you have a SendGrid account, you can use this package to send your emails using SendGrid instead.

Use
---

[](#use)

Because this package has depends on multiple other packages, we strongly recommend installing it using [Composer](https://www.getcomposer.org). Add `athens/sendgrid` to your your `composer.json`:

```
"require": {
        ...
        "athens/sendgrid": "0.*",
        ...
    },

```

Then [update/install your Composer dependencies](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#installing-dependencies).

If you haven't already done so, create a SendGrid [API key](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/api_keys). Paste that into your `local_settings.php`:

```
...
define('SENDGRID_API_KEY', 'mybiglongsendgridapikey');
...

```

Now define your default emailer in `setup.php`:

```
...
use Athens\Core\Etc\Settings;
...
Settings::setDefaultEmailerClass('Athens\SendGrid\Emailer');
...

```

That's it! If you provided the correct API key, your Athens emails are now being sent with SendGrid! Check your SendGrid dashboard to confirm.
