## Before you begin
<a name="sendgrid-prereqs"></a>

To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from SendGrid to supported destinations, you must meet these requirements:
+ You have an account with SendGrid that contains the data that you want to transfer. For more information about the SendGrid data objects that Amazon AppFlow supports, see [Supported objects](#sendgrid-objects).
+ You've configured your account with the following settings:
  + You've enabled two-factor authentication. For the steps to enable it, see [Two-Factor Authentication](https://docs.sendgrid.com/ui/account-and-settings/two-factor-authentication) in the SendGrid documentation.
  + You've created an API key that grants full access to your account. For the steps to create one, see [API Keys](https://docs.sendgrid.com/ui/account-and-settings/api-keys) in the SendGrid documentation.

Note the API key from your account settings. You provide it to Amazon AppFlow when you connect to your SendGrid account.

## Connecting Amazon AppFlow to your SendGrid account
<a name="sendgrid-connecting"></a>

To connect Amazon AppFlow to your SendGrid account, provide your API key so that Amazon AppFlow can access your data. If you haven't yet configured your SendGrid account for Amazon AppFlow integration, see [Before you begin](#sendgrid-prereqs).

**To connect to SendGrid**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon AppFlow console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/).

1. In the navigation pane on the left, choose **Connections**.

1. On the **Manage connections** page, for **Connectors**, choose **SendGrid**.

1. Choose **Create connection**.

1. In the **Connect to SendGrid** window, for **API Key**, enter the API key from your SendGrid account settings.

1. Optionally, under **Data encryption**, choose **Customize encryption settings (advanced)** if you want to encrypt your data with a customer managed key in the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

   By default, Amazon AppFlow encrypts your data with a KMS key that AWS creates, uses, and manages for you. Choose this option if you want to encrypt your data with your own KMS key instead.

   Amazon AppFlow always encrypts your data during transit and at rest. For more information, see [Data protection in Amazon AppFlow](data-protection.md).

   If you want to use a KMS key from the current AWS account, select this key under **Choose an AWS KMS key**. If you want to use a KMS key from a different AWS account, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for that key.

1. For **Connection name**, enter a name for your connection.

1. Choose **Connect**.

On the **Manage connections** page, your new connection appears in the **Connections** table. When you create a flow that uses SendGrid as the data source, you can select this connection.

## Transferring data from SendGrid with a flow
