You can now simply use the CakePHP Email

That is it.
Advance Use

Custom Headers
You can pass your own headers. It must be prefixed with "X-". Use the default Email::setHeaders
method like,
When sending request,
X-
will be removed from header name e.g. X-MyHeader will become MyHeader
Attachments

Template

Set the template id using setTemplate
method.
Schedule
You can schedule the email to be sent in future date. You can set upto 72 hours in future as per SendGrid documentation. You need to pass a unix timestamp value.
Webhooks
You can receive status events from SendGrid. This allows you ensure that SendGrid was able to send the email recording bounces etc.
Webhook Config
You will require a Table in the database to record the emails sent. You can use the lorenzo/cakephp-email-queue plugin to queue the emails and in that case you would use the email_queue table. However you can create your own table/Model as long as it has at least three columns. They can be called anything but they must have the correct types.
When you send the email the deliver function will return an array with a 'messageId' element if it successfully connected to SendGrid. This needs to be recorded in the status_id field.
- status_id VARCHAR(100)
- status VARCHAR(100)
- status_message TEXT
You need to map this table and these fields in you app_local.php config
You will need to login to your SendGrid Account and configure your domain and the events that you want to track
https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/mail_settings/webhook_settings
The return url needs to be set to
- https://YOUR DOMAIN/send-grid/webhook
The CSRF protection middleware needs to allow posts to the webhooks controller in Application.php Remove the current CSRF protection middleware and replace it with the following. If you already have CSRF exceptions then add the Webhooks one
If the authentication plugin (https://book.cakephp.org/authentication/3/en/index.html) is used for authentication the webhook action should work OK. If you have a different authentication method then you will need to add an exception for the webhook action. /send-grid/webhooks/index
Webhook Signature Verification
SendGrid allows you to sign the webhook requests. This is a good idea in production to keep the webhook secure. You will need to enable this in your SendGrid account and then set secure to true and add your verification key to your app_local.php config file.
https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/tracking-events/getting-started-event-webhook-security-features. Enable signed event webhook and follow the instructions to get the verification key.
