Create a read-only API key (Optional)
While you can set up the Sendgrid connector using any Salesforce user with read permission, we recommend creating a dedicated read-only user for Airbyte. This allows you to granularly control the which resources Airbyte can read.
The API key should be read-only on all resources except Marketing, where it needs Full Access.
Limitations & Troubleshooting

Connector limitations
Rate limiting
The connector is restricted by normal Sendgrid requests limitation.
Troubleshooting
- Legacy marketing campaigns are not supported by this source connector. Sendgrid provides two different kinds of marketing campaigns, "legacy marketing campaigns" and "new marketing campaigns". If you are seeing a
403 FORBIDDEN error message for https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/campaigns, it might be because your SendGrid account uses legacy marketing campaigns. - Check out common troubleshooting issues for the Sendgrid source connector on our Airbyte Forum.
