Using Sendgrid as SMTP in Umbraco 9

Hello Umbraco community,

I want to use Sendgrid as SMTP for my Umbraco v9 website. I can see, how to configure the information here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/umbraco-cloud/Set-up/SMTP-settings/#configure-smtp-settings

I assume it uses username and password for basic authentication.

In following Sendgrid article it's mentioned that basic authentication isn't supported anymore. https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/sending-email/authentication#basic-authentication

Did someone use Sendgrid SMTP in Umbraco 9, which uses API Key (Authorization: Bearer 'Your-API-Key-Here') for authentication?

Regards, Stefanie.

You can use Sendgrid as an SMTP Server. You'll find the instructions here:

https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/sending-email/integrating-with-the-smtp-api
```
"Umbraco": {
    "CMS": {
        "Global": {
            "Smtp": {
                "From": "person@umbraco.dk",
                "Host": "smtp.sendgrid.net",
                "Username": "apikey",
                "Password":  "generated-api-key-here"      
            }
         }
    }
},
```
Also make sure configure Sender authentication for the domain you'll send from to prevent mail from ending in the recipients spam folder.

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I understand that part from the Umbraco and Sendgrid documentation. I just want to get clarification, if the authentication in Umbraco for SMTP is Basic authentication (Which isn't supported in Sendgrid anymore according to https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/sending-email/authentication#basic-authentication)?

Regards, Stefanie.

The link is about the web api, not smtp protocol
