Using SendGrid SMTP Integration for bulk email

Question

Is there a way to use SendGrid's SMTP Integration API for sending bulk mail?

Here's what I have in mind: I need to send a large bulk of emails to subscribers. Since SendGrid docs recommend using SMTP Integration where possible, I would like to be able to make a single hit SendGrid and let it send the whole bulk based on email list. I know this is possible with REST API.

Is this even possible with SMTP?

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible with the SMTP api as well. You can check out the SMTP developers guide to see how to design this, https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/SMTP_API/integrating_with_the_smtp_api.html .
