# How to Set Up SMTP for Email via SendGrid

> SendGrid, a popular email service provider, allows users to send emails via SMTP using the following configurations:

## SMTP Server Details

* **SMTP Server/Host:** `smtp.sendgrid.net`
* **SMTP Port:** `587`

## Authentication Information

* **SMTP User Name:** `apikey`
* **SMTP Password:** YOUR\_SENDGRID\_API\_KEY

## Additional Information

* SendGrid requires the use of an API key instead of a traditional username and password for authentication. This enhances security by allowing you to restrict permissions based on your needs.
* Ensure your application or email client is configured to use TLS encryption on port 587 to secure email transmissions.

## Reference Material

* For detailed guidance on how to use SendGrid’s SMTP service, including how to generate and manage your API key, consult this SendGrid documentation: [SendGrid SMTP Integration Guide](https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/sending-email/drupal).
