How to Send WP Job Manager Data to SendGrid

SendGrid is a email delivery platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. WP Job Manager handles a job listing is submitted on your WordPress site. SendGrid is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.

Why not just use Zapier?

• A SendGrid account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect SendGrid to AFI

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it WP Job Manager to SendGrid.
