SendGrid Integration Skill

When to use

When the user wants their voice agent to send emails via SendGrid after or during a call. Common triggers:

• "send a confirmation email to the caller"
• "email a summary after the call"
• "send a follow-up via SendGrid"

What to do

1. Check connection via check_connection("sendgrid").

2. If not connected: Use secret("sendgrid") in tool scripts. The system will automatically emit the correct action card based on the platform configuration. Do NOT emit action cards manually.

3. Ask for sender email: SendGrid requires a verified sender address. Ask the user for their verified from email address.

Example tool config

{
  "name": "sendgrid.send_email",
  "description": "Send a transactional email via SendGrid",
  "params": [
    {"name": "to_email", "description": "Recipient email address", "type": "string", "required": true},
    {"name": "subject", "description": "Email subject line", "type": "string", "required": true},
    {"name": "text_body", "description": "Plain text email body", "type": "string", "required": true},
    {"name": "from_email", "description": "Verified sender email address", "type": "string", "required": true}
  ],
  "script": "let key = secret('sendgrid');\nlet payload = {personalizations: [{to: [{email: to_email}]}], from: {email: from_email}, subject: subject, content: [{type: 'text/plain', value: text_body}]};\nlet resp = http_post_h('https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send', payload, {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + key, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'});\nif (resp.status === 202 || (resp.status >= 200 && resp.status < 300)) { return 'Email sent.'; }\nthrow new Error(`SendGrid ${resp.status}: ${resp.body}`);",
  "side_effect": true
}

Rules

• NEVER hardcode API keys in tool headers
• NEVER ask for API keys in chat
• Always use secret("sendgrid") for credentials
• SendGrid's /mail/send returns HTTP 202 Accepted on success
• The from_email must be a verified sender in the SendGrid account
• For script tools, treat non-2xx HTTP responses as failures and throw using resp.status/resp.body
