Quick Start
Include the proper lines from below at the top of each example based on your installation method:
<?php
// Uncomment the next line if you're using a dependency loader (such as Composer) (recommended)
// require 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Uncomment the next line if you're not using a dependency loader (such as Composer), replacing <PATH TO> with the path to the sendgrid-php.php file
// require_once '<PATH TO>/sendgrid-php.php';Hello Email
The following is the minimum needed code to send an email. You may find more examples in our USE_CASES file:
$email = new \SendGrid\Mail\Mail();
$email->setFrom("[email protected]", "Example User");
$email->setSubject("Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun");
$email->addTo("[email protected]", "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.
