To use this feature, you have to create a new API key in Sendgrid web interface which as full access to Mail Send.

The API key must have the permission to send Emails:

The API secret key is visible only one time, do not use the API key ID:

Set your API credentials on the settings page (Application Settings > Integrations > Sendgrid) and set the mail transport to "sendgrid" (Application Settings > Email Settings).

Define those constants in your config.php file to send notifications with Sendgrid:

// We choose "sendgrid" as mail transport
define('MAIL_TRANSPORT', 'sendgrid');

// Sendgrid password
define('SENDGRID_API_KEY', 'YOUR_SENDGRID_API_KEY');

This integration works with the Parse API of Sendgrid. Kanboard use a webhook to handle incoming emails.

1. Create a new domain or subdomain (by example inbound.mydomain.tld) with a MX record that point to mx.sendgrid.net
2. Add your domain and the Kanboard webhook url to the configuration page in Sendgrid

The Kanboard webhook URL is displayed in Settings > Integrations > Sendgrid

1. The sender must have the same email address in Kanboard and must be member of the project
2. Assign a project email address in Project Edit
3. Send an email to your project
