Step 13: Verify the Webhook URL in Mailmodo. And now, Mailmodo is successfully integrated with SendGrid SMTP.

For verification, we will send an email to check that your email address is properly configured. If any error is detected, then you would not be able to use that sender email (until errors are resolved).

Email verification alone may sometimes not be sufficient for Sender Authentication. In that case Domain Authentication is also required.

Step 14: Open your     SendGrid     account. Go to Settings→Sender Authentication.

In case Domain Authentication is not verified, click on Authenticate Your Domain and proceed as follows-
