Send bulk e-mail plugin

This plugin sends bulk email via Sendgrid API.

Requirements

You'll need a Sendgrid account to use this plugin. Then you'll need to generate API key

Sendgrid requires a domain configuration to send e-mails, you'll need to add and configure your domain in Sendgrid settings. Please refer to Sendgrid documentation for details.

The last thing is your Sendgrid plan - if you're on the trial version, you are able to send emails only within your own domain, so if your email is examplemail@example.com, then your domain is simply example.com and you can send messages only to emails ending with example.com.

To get rid of this restriction, you need a paid plan on Sendgrid.
