Integration
Connect Salesforce and SendGrid
When New object record fires in Salesforce, your agent runs Create or update contact in SendGrid, or New bounce in SendGrid to Create object record in Salesforce. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Salesforce and SendGrid to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.
Set it up in your client
Claude Code
Run this in the directory you want to work in.
claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)Claude, web and desktop
Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Cursor
Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Zed
Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app
Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Any other MCP client
Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Connecting Salesforce and SendGrid keeps your CRM records and your email audience aligned. New Leads or Contacts in Salesforce can become marketing contacts in SendGrid, closed deals can trigger a templated email, and bounces or unsubscribes in SendGrid can be written back onto the matching Salesforce record so sales sees the same picture.

Questions
Salesforce and SendGrid, answered
How does a bounce in SendGrid reach the right Salesforce record?
The new bounce trigger in SendGrid gives you the email address, and a find object records step in Salesforce matches it against the Contact or Lead you choose. If a record comes back, an update object record step writes the bounce onto that record; if nothing matches, nothing is changed.
Can Salesforce records create or refresh contacts in SendGrid?
Yes. A new record or a new or updated record trigger in Salesforce can feed the create or update contact action in SendGrid, which upserts by email address and can assign the contact to a list. You can also send an email or a templated email from the same Salesforce event.
What can start an automation from Salesforce?
Any of Salesforce's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New object record and New or updated object record. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in SendGrid when something happens in Salesforce?
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 Salesforce?
Yes. When something happens in SendGrid, your agent can act in Salesforce too. This page covers both directions: SendGrid's triggers and Salesforce's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Salesforce 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 Salesforce 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.
