How to connect SendGrid within Outplay?

Establish a Gmail <> Sendgrid SMTP connection to send more emails.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is one of the methods through which internet servers send emails. Like many other SMTP providers like Mailgun, Sendinblue, Postmark, etc, SendGrid offers the use of their mail servers to send your emails. This is an excellent option for sending large volumes of emails, where having to do so manually would consume a significant amount of time and effort.
