# Azure SendGrid SMTP Configuration

## Overview

This section provides instructions on how to configure an Azure SendGrid SMTP with WorkflowGen.

## Create the SendGrid account in the Azure Portal

The SendGrid account must be created in the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/). See [Create a SendGrid Account](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sendgrid-dotnet-how-to-send-email#create-a-sendgrid-account) for more information on how to create a SendGrid account. Once you've completed the configuration, you'll have:

* The server name (e.g. `smtp.sendgrid.net`)
* The username (e.g. `apikey`)
* The generated password
* Port `25` or `587` set for TLS connections and explicit SSL connections.

For more information about the SendGrid SMTP integration, see the [Integrating with the SendGrid SMTP API](https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/SMTP_API/integrating_with_the_smtp_api.html) Twilio article.
