# Configure Sendgrid Email Settings
> Step-by-step instructions to set up SendGrid as your email connector in MoEngage, covering domain authentication and DNS record configuration.
This article provides step-by-step instructions to configure email settings in SendGrid.
# Introduction
SendGrid is a cloud-based SMTP provider that allows you to send email without maintaining email servers. SendGrid manages all technical details, from scaling the infrastructure to ISP outreach and reputation monitoring to whitelist services and real-time analytics.
Ensure that you have admin access to your SendGrid account.
# Configure SendGrid Account
You can sign up for [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/pricing) and select your pricing plan.
## Add Domains in SendGrid
To send emails from your domain using SendGrid, you need to set up domain authentication. This involves generating DNS records for your domain and dedicated IPs, adding these records to your DNS servers, and then validating them in SendGrid.
For more information, refer to the following articles:
* To set up a domain, refer to [How to Set Up Domain Authentication](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/how-to-set-up-domain-authentication).
* To set up link branding, refer to [How to set up link branding](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/how-to-set-up-link-branding).
* To set up reverse DNS for a dedicated IP, refer to [How to set up reverse DNS](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/how-to-set-up-reverse-dns).
* To set up SSL for click tracking domain, refer to [Setup SSL for Click Tracking](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/ui/analytics-and-reporting/click-tracking-ssl).
* To set up Sign in with Apple, refer to [Configuring Sign in with Apple](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/configuring-sign-in-with-apple).
## Create API Keys in SendGrid
Create API keys with full access. For more information, refer to the [API Keys](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sendgrid/ui/account-and-settings/api-keys)
Make sure to note the API key in a secure location. You cannot view it again after creation.
