Connect SendGrid with Movermate to send emails using your own authenticated business domain.

This guide will walk you through authenticating your domain, configuring DNS records, creating an API key, and connecting SendGrid with Movermate.

Make sure you have:

Note: This guide uses GoDaddy as an example. If your DNS is hosted with another provider, the screens may look different, but the required DNS records remain those generated by SendGrid.

Log in to your SendGrid account.

Go to:

Settings → Sender Authentication

Under Domain Authentication, click Authenticate Your Domain.

SendGrid will ask:

Which Domain Name Server (DNS) host do you use?

Open the DNS host dropdown and select the provider where your domain’s DNS records are managed.

For example, select GoDaddy if your DNS is managed through GoDaddy.

Under Would you also like to brand the links for this domain?, select the option appropriate for your setup.

For the setup shown in this guide, select No.

Click Next.

Under Domain You Send From, enter your business domain.

For example:

yourcompany.com.au

Do not include https://, www, or an email address unless specifically required for your domain configuration.

Click Next.

SendGrid will generate the DNS records required to authenticate your domain.

Select Manual Setup to view the records.

You may see multiple records, including:

Each record will contain a Host and Points To value.

Important: Your DNS records are unique to your SendGrid account and domain. Always copy the values directly from your own SendGrid account. Do not copy the example values shown in screenshots.

Log in to your DNS provider.

For GoDaddy, open your domain and navigate to:

Domain → DNS → DNS Records

Click Add New Record.

Copy each record from SendGrid and add it to your DNS provider.

Match the fields as follows:

For example, when adding a CNAME record:

Type: CNAME
​Name: Copy the Host provided by SendGrid
​Value: Copy the Points To value provided by SendGrid
​TTL: Leave the default value unless otherwise required

Click Save.

Repeat this process until all records shown in SendGrid have been added.

Important: The Host and Points To values must match the values provided by SendGrid. Incorrect or missing DNS records can prevent verification.

Return to SendGrid after adding all DNS records.

Tick:

I’ve added these records.

Then click Verify.

DNS changes may take some time to propagate. If verification does not work immediately, wait and try again later.

Once SendGrid successfully verifies the DNS records, you will see:

It worked!

Click Return to Sender Authentication.

Your domain should now show a green Verified status.

Your domain authentication is now complete.

In SendGrid, navigate to:

Settings → API Keys

Click Create API Key.

Enter a recognizable API Key Name.

For example:

Movermate

Under Set API Key Permissions, select the required permissions.

For the setup shown in this guide, select:

Full Access

Click Create & View.

SendGrid will generate your API key.

Click or select the key and copy it immediately.

Important: SendGrid only displays the complete API key once. Store it securely before leaving this page.

Your API key provides access to your SendGrid account. Do not publish it in documentation, emails, screenshots, or other publicly accessible locations.

If an API key is accidentally exposed, revoke it in SendGrid and create a new one.

Log in to Movermate.

From the left navigation menu, click:

Settings

Under General Settings, select:

App Integration

Scroll through the available integrations until you find SendGrid.

Enable the toggle on the SendGrid integration.

The Connect SendGrid to Movermate window will open.

Enter the following information:

Paste the API key you created in SendGrid.

Enter the name you want customers to see when they receive emails.

For example:

Your Business Name

Enter the email address you want to use to send emails.

For example:

[email protected]

Recommended: Use a Sender Email that belongs to the domain you authenticated in SendGrid.

Click Connect SendGrid.

SendGrid is now connected to Movermate.

Your Movermate account can use the configured SendGrid integration to send outbound emails using your authenticated business domain.
