Steps to use

SendGrid setup

This example is based off the SendGrid (Twillio) blog on the same subject. The condensed version of all steps is:

1. Create a Sendgrid account
2. Complete onboarding (a "Single Sender Domain" account is good enough)
3. Create an API key with permissions: "Restricted Access" and at least "Mail Send" Full Access

Running

To use this sample:

1. Clone the repository;
2. Create UserSecrets for the csproj file (or change the appsettings.json but be sure not to commit those changes!!), duplicate the "SendGrid" section in its entirety and use your own settings;
3. Run the application;

That's it!
