Send an email in SendGrid when a conversation is closed (archived) in Front

When a conversation is closed (archived) in Front, send an email in SendGrid.

Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

A conversation archived, checked every 5 minutes.

What each client fills in

SendGrid: From address
For example hello@northside.example
Who it goes to (SendGrid)
The address that gets it: yours, or the client’s team.

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

  • Front

    In the client’s Front: Settings → Developers → API tokens → Create API token with the Shared resources namespace and the Read and Write permissions (Write for the contact step, Read for the triggers, which list events).

  • SendGrid → Settings → API Keys → Create API Key with Mail Send access; for the triggers, also the Event Webhook settings permission (user.webhooks.event.settings.read and user.webhooks.event.settings.update), or Full Access. The From address must be a verified sender.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

  1. Connect the client’s Front, for “A conversation is closed (archived)”
  2. Connect the client’s SendGrid, for “Send an email”
  3. Fill in SendGrid: From address (For example hello@northside.example)
  4. Fill in Who it goes to (SendGrid) (The address that gets it: yours, or the client’s team)

Thrum is cooking.
