Setting up an application to receive emails can be tiresome if you want to do it yourself. Luckily Twilio SendGrid includes the Inbound Parse feature, a greatly simplified method for receiving emails based on webhooks. Let's walk through how to receive emails on your own domain using Node.js.

Requirements and dependencies

We'll need to install the node modules for Express and the multer middleware. To install these npm modules, navigate to the directory where you want this code to live and run the following command in your terminal to create an npm package for this project:

The --yes argument just runs through all of the prompts that you would otherwise have to fill out or skip. Now that we have a package.json for our app, let’s install the necessary libraries with the following shell command:

Email has been around for decades, but sending emails at scale is still hard. With Twilio SendGrid, you can send emails without worrying about scalability. You can use the SendGrid APIs and SDKs to start sending emails within minutes. You could also use the SMTP protocol if you already have an existing codebase that relies on SMTP. In this post, you will learn how to send emails using the SendGrid .NET SDK and a .NET 6 console application.

Prerequisites

You will need the following things to follow along:

• OS that supports .NET (Windows/Mac/Linux)
• .NET 6 SDK (download)
• A code editor or IDE (Recommended: VS Code with C# plugin, Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider)
• A Twilio SendGrid account (signup)

Everything you will learn applies even if you’re using an older version of .NET (Core), but you will need to make minor adjustments.

11月末の米国のホリデーシーズンを振り返る時期になりました。Eメールの世界では、このホリデーシーズン(ブラックフライデーとサイバーマンデー)は、スポーツの世界のワールドカップ、スーパーボウル、スタンレーカップ、ワールドシリーズ、オリンピックなどが同時並行で実施されるような規模の出来事(あくまでも例えです 😁)として捉えられます。2021年のホリデーシーズンは2020年に比べれば、人びとのショッピングに対する期待度の点で確かに改善されていると言えますが、パンデミック前の2019年とは比べものになりません。とはいえ、2019年から今年2021年のホリデーシーズンにおいて一貫しているのは、顧客を惹きつけ、ホリデーショッピングシーズンを盛り上げる手段として、Eメールに驚くほど依存していることです。

2021年の配信性能および経年比較

Twilio SendGridにおけるEメールトラフィックの処理量は、今年2021年も大幅に伸長しました。Twilio SendGridプラットフォームはブラックフライデー(BF)に約68億通、サイバーマンデー(CM)に70億通超のEメールを処理しましたが、これは2020年からの対前年比(YoY)で各々16.9%、22.2%の伸びとなっています。Twilio SendGridプラットフォームは、1時間あたり5.3億APIリクエストという再繁時バーストレートを維持しながら、優れたパフォーマンスを発揮しました。 …

When working with Twilio SendGrid APIs such as Inbound Parse, one of the first steps after creating a free account is to set up domain authentication. This can be a tedious process, but once you are finished you will be able to write code to receive emails.
