This library allows you to quickly and easily use the Twilio SendGrid Web API v3 via PHP.

Version 7.X.X of this library provides full support for all Twilio SendGrid Web API v3 endpoints, including the new v3 /mail/send.

We want this library to be community driven and Twilio SendGrid led. Your help is needed to realize this goal. To help make sure we are building the right things in the right order, we ask that you create issues and pull requests or simply upvote or comment on existing issues or pull requests.

Setup Environment Variables

Update the development environment with your SENDGRID_API_KEY, for example:

  }
}

Previous versions of the library can be found in the version index or downloaded directly from GitHub.

Dependencies

Quick Start

Hello Email

The following is the minimum needed code to send an email. You may find more examples in our USE_CASES file:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // If you're using Composer (recommended)
// Comment out the above line if not using Composer
// require("<PATH TO>/sendgrid-php.php");
// If not using Composer, uncomment the above line and
// download sendgrid-php.zip from the latest release here,
// replacing <PATH TO> with the path to the sendgrid-php.php file,
// which is included in the download:
// https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php/releases

$email = new \SendGrid\Mail\Mail();
$email->setFrom("test@example.com", "Example User");
$email->setSubject("Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun");
$email->addTo("test@example.com", "Example User");
$email->addContent("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP");
$email->addContent(
    "text/html", "<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP</strong>"
);
$sendgrid = new \SendGrid(getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY'));
try {
    $response = $sendgrid->send($email);
    print $response->statusCode() . "\n";
    print_r($response->headers());
    print $response->body() . "\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: '. $e->getMessage() ."\n";
}

The SendGrid\Mail constructor creates a personalization object for you. Here is an example of how to add to it.

General v3 Web API Usage (With Fluent Interface)

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // If you're using Composer (recommended)
// Comment out the above line if not using Composer
// Comment out the above line if not using Composer
// require("<PATH TO>/sendgrid-php.php");
// If not using Composer, uncomment the above line and
// download sendgrid-php.zip from the latest release here,
// replacing <PATH TO> with the path to the sendgrid-php.php file,
// which is included in the download:
// https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php/releases

$apiKey = getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY');
$sg = new \SendGrid($apiKey);

try {
    $response = $sg->client->suppression()->bounces()->get();
    print $response->statusCode() . "\n";
    print_r($response->headers());
    print $response->body() . "\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: '.  $e->getMessage(). "\n";
}

General v3 Web API Usage (Without Fluent Interface)

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // If you're using Composer (recommended)
// Comment out the above line if not using Composer
// Comment out the above line if not using Composer
// require("<PATH TO>/sendgrid-php.php");
// If not using Composer, uncomment the above line and
// download sendgrid-php.zip from the latest release here,
// replacing <PATH TO> with the path to the sendgrid-php.php file,
// which is included in the download:
// https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php/releases

$apiKey = getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY');
$sg = new \SendGrid($apiKey);

try {
    $response = $sg->client->_("suppression/bounces")->get();
    print $response->statusCode() . "\n";
    print_r($response->headers());
    print $response->body() . "\n";
