OnchainSuite and SendGrid

Twilio SendGrid is email infrastructure: an API that delivers transactional and marketing mail. OnchainSuite decides who to message and when based on on-chain behaviour, and SendGrid can even be the layer that delivers it.

Why blockchain companies choose OnchainSuite over SendGrid. SendGrid delivers the emails you hand it. It is not a retention engine and has no wallet or chain layer. OnchainSuite supplies the triggers, segments, and in-app push it does not.

Reads both lanes. What customers do in your app and what their wallets do on-chain go onto one record, with no export to prepare.

Reaches wallets with no email. An in-app message needs only the wallet, so customers who never gave you an address still hear from you.

Loops that stop when the customer acts. A Loop waits, sends by email or in-app, and ends the moment the action is recorded on the contract.

What teams like about SendGrid.

  • Reliable delivery at scale
  • A strong developer API
  • Good deliverability tooling

SendGrid is the better call when you want raw sending infrastructure and will build the retention logic yourself.

Running both. A good pairing. OnchainSuite owns the on-chain triggers, segments, and in-app push; SendGrid handles delivery.

OnchainSuite and SendGrid, answered

Is SendGrid a competitor?

Only on the delivery slice. OnchainSuite can sit on top of it and adds the triggers, segments, and in-app push SendGrid does not do.

Can I use SendGrid with OnchainSuite?

Yes. SendGrid can be the delivery layer while OnchainSuite drives the logic.

Does OnchainSuite handle deliverability?

We send to opted-in wallets. Teams with strict deliverability needs can pair us with their provider.
