# How do I connect SendGrid to the Buyer Email Inbox?

Choose SendGrid and Direct Provider Receiving in Deal Blasts -> Settings -> Email Sending -> Add Client Email. Prepare the authenticated sender domain, receiving hostname, SMTP credentials and the required signed receiving and delivery-event configuration.

Inbound Parse handles incoming mail. The signed Event Webhook handles outgoing delivery events. They have different endpoints and verification settings; do not use one as proof of the other. Saving the draft does not activate it.

Follow [Set Up Buyer Email](https://docs.closemagnet.com/guides/client-email-provider-setup) for the complete SendGrid checklist and controlled conversation test. Confirm the selected provider plan's actual capabilities before buying an upgrade.
