Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Connecting SendGrid and Freshworks CRM keeps your email list and your sales records describing the same people. New contacts in Freshworks CRM can be added as SendGrid marketing contacts, and bounces or unsubscribes in SendGrid can be written back onto the matching CRM contact so reps know an address has gone quiet.

Questions
Freshworks CRM and SendGrid, answered
Will a bounce in SendGrid land on the right Freshworks CRM contact?
The agent takes the bounced address from SendGrid and runs Find Contact by Email in Freshworks CRM, so the note is added to the matching contact. If no contact matches that address, nothing is written and the record is skipped.
What happens if someone created in Freshworks CRM is already in SendGrid?
The Create or update contact action in SendGrid matches on email address, so an existing marketing contact is updated rather than duplicated. New addresses are added and can be assigned to the list you name.
What can start an automation from Freshworks CRM?
Any of Freshworks CRM's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact, New Deal, New Account and New or Updated Account. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in SendGrid when something happens in Freshworks CRM?
Any of SendGrid's 10 actions, including Create or update contact, Send an email using template, Create custom field and Create list. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from SendGrid to Freshworks CRM?
Yes. When something happens in SendGrid, your agent can act in Freshworks CRM too. This page covers both directions: SendGrid's triggers and Freshworks CRM's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Freshworks CRM or SendGrid?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Freshworks CRM and SendGrid without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
