Connect SendGrid to clariBI with your API key to sync daily email statistics (delivered, opens, clicks, bounces) for your account, read-only, with auto-generated dashboards next to your business data.
What is SendGrid?
SendGrid is an email delivery platform that sends marketing and transactional email at scale and tracks how each send performs.
clariBI reads SendGrid through its v3 REST API using your own API key: the daily account statistics for your email program, including requests, delivered, opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes. Access is read-only, and clariBI never sends an email or changes anything in your SendGrid account.
How to connect SendGrid
- Open Data Sources in clariBI. In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find SendGrid, and paste your SendGrid API key (create one with read access under Settings → API Keys). The key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
- Choose how much history. Set how many days of daily statistics to pull. clariBI reads your account-wide email stats read-only, aggregated by day.
- Sync, then get dashboards. clariBI syncs the daily statistics, preprocesses them, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "Did our open rate move with revenue?" and the AI engine queries the synced stats alongside your business data.
What you can analyze
- Daily delivered, opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes
- Open rate and click rate trends over your chosen window
- Deliverability trend: delivered versus bounces and blocks
- Engagement seasonality across the days you track
- Send volume lined up with signups or orders by date
- Cross-source: email opens and clicks → signups → revenue
What gets synced
clariBI pulls your daily account email statistics through the SendGrid v3 REST API, lands them as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes them on your schedule. Access is read-only.
clariBI syncs the daily count of requests, delivered, opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never sends an email or changes anything in your SendGrid account.
Questions across your other data
Once your records are synced, the AI engine can join them to the rest of your business data. A few examples:
| Pairing | Question | How clariBI answers |
|---|---|---|
| SendGrid × Revenue | "Do days with higher email engagement show up in revenue?" | Planner: read daily opens and clicks from SendGrid, align to your revenue by date, and report how much of the change tracked engagement. |
| SendGrid × Signups | "Did our send volume drive new signups?" | Planner: read daily delivered and clicks from SendGrid, join to your signups by date, and flag the sends that converted best. |
