SendGrid

A WordPress-plugin from Webstarters.

Requirements

• WordPress 5.2
• PHP 7.1

In addition, you must have the necessary credentials to access the SendGrid API.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require webstarters/sendgrid

...or download the plugin as a ZIP and upload it via WP-Admin.

Configuration

You must set WS_SENDGRID_API_KEY in your wp-config.php with your SendGrid API Key.

You may set a default SendGrid Template ID for all mails via WS_SENDGRID_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_ID.

Usage

This plugin overwrites wp_mail to send via SendGrid.

You can also send mail via the new sendgrid_mail method, which extends wp_mail, but adds the possibility of specifying template data and ID.

Example

<?php

$to = 'Peter Jørgensen <pj@webstarters.dk>';

$subject = 'Hello';

$message = 'Hello World!';

$headers = [
    'Cc: Peter Jørgensen <pj@webstarters.dk>',
    'Bcc: Peter Jørgensen <pj@webstarters.dk>',
    'Reply-To: Peter Jørgensen <pj@webstarters.dk>',
];

$attachments = [
    'https://via.placeholder.com/1280x720',
];

$templateData = [
    'foo' => 'bar',
];

$templateId = 'd-cf81460749c34cd697916aa4760f552c';

$success = sendgrid_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $attachments, $templateData, $templateId);

echo $success;      

Debugging

To begin, enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG in the wp_config.php file.

Remember to disable WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY if the website is in a production environment.

Security

For any security related issues, send a mail to pj+security@webstarters.dk instead of using the issue tracker.
