Description
QloApps SendGrid Mail sends QloApps emails through SendGrid's Web API over HTTPS, helping hotels deliver booking confirmations, password resets, and guest notifications without configuring an SMTP server.
QloApps SendGrid Mail adds SendGrid as a mail delivery option under Advanced Parameters > E-mail, alongside the existing SMTP and local mail settings. Once an API key is saved, outgoing messages, including booking confirmations, password resets, and guest and staff notifications, are sent through SendGrid's Web API over HTTPS instead of a direct SMTP connection.
It is designed for independent hotels, resorts, and multi-property groups that want to simplify email configuration without managing their own outbound mail server. The module integrates with the standard QloApps E-mail configuration screen, making it easy to configure SendGrid without learning a separate Back Office section.

Why Use QloApps SendGrid Mail?
Reliable email delivery is essential for hotel operations. Booking confirmations, payment receipts, and password resets depend on messages reaching guests and staff. Basic SMTP setups and shared hosting environments can require additional configuration and troubleshooting when email delivery issues occur.
QloApps SendGrid Mail provides an API-based delivery option through SendGrid. Hotels can configure email delivery from one familiar Back Office screen, test the setup, and review clear error messages when a sending request fails.
QloApps SendGrid Mail Configuration
The module adds a SendGrid configuration panel under Advanced Parameters > E-mail, alongside the existing SMTP settings.
- Use SendGrid Web API: Select SendGrid from the standard mail-method options to route outgoing emails through the API.
- SendGrid API Key: Enter the API key generated in your SendGrid account.
- Hidden saved key: The saved key is not redisplayed in the configuration field.
- Key replacement: Enter a new API key whenever you need to replace the existing one.
The configuration remains within the existing E-mail settings screen, so administrators do not need to learn a separate Back Office section.
QloApps SendGrid Mail Delivery
Once the API key is saved and SendGrid is selected as the mail method, QloApps routes outgoing messages through SendGrid's Web API over HTTPS instead of SMTP.
- Booking confirmations and guest notifications.
- Password reset emails and other outgoing messages.
- HTML and plain-text email content.
- CC and BCC recipients.
- Reply-To addresses and attachments.
The module supports the message content and fields prepared by QloApps, helping preserve the intended email format and recipient information.
QloApps SendGrid Mail Safeguards
The module validates its configuration and provides clear feedback to help administrators identify issues with SendGrid email delivery.
- API key validation: Rejects keys that do not match SendGrid's expected character format before saving them.
- Delivery error messages: Displays SendGrid's HTTP status and error text in the Back Office when a sending request fails.
- Automatic fallback: Switches the mail method back to "Never send emails" when the module is disabled or uninstalled.
- Key cleanup: Removes the stored API key during uninstallation.
These safeguards help administrators manage the module's configuration and understand reported delivery failures.
