Twilio SendGrid is an email delivery platform. Its Marketing Campaigns feature stores contacts in lists and sends newsletters and automations. If you run LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms, sending every new lead to SendGrid automatically saves you downloading files from Campaign Manager and importing them by hand.
This guide shows you how to send LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to SendGrid with LeadsNotify: connect your LinkedIn Page, connect SendGrid, choose where leads go, and test it. It takes about five minutes.
Why Send LinkedIn Leads to SendGrid?
SendGrid automations can start when a contact joins a list. Adding ad leads automatically lets your first email go out while the lead is still engaged.
LinkedIn leads are often your most valuable leads: decision makers, with company and job title already filled in from their profile. They are also the easiest to lose, because they wait in Campaign Manager until someone remembers to download them.
How to Send LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to SendGrid (About 5 Minutes)
Before you start, you need: a LeadsNotify account on any plan, free included, admin access to the LinkedIn Page that runs your lead gen forms, and your SendGrid account and permission to create API keys.
Step 1: Connect Your LinkedIn Page
Log in to LeadsNotify. Open Connectors in the top menu and choose Linkedin. Click Connect To Linkedin, sign in, tick the Pages you run lead gen form campaigns from, and approve the permissions LinkedIn asks for.
Every Page you ticked shows as CONNECTED. Adding another Page later? Click Connect To Linkedin again and tick the new Page, leaving the connected Pages ticked. Already connected? Skip to step 2.
Step 2: Create a SendGrid Notifier
Go back to the dashboard. Under Create a new notifier, make sure the LinkedIn tab is selected, type “sendgrid” in the search box, find Send leads to SendGrid and click Create notifier.
Step 3: Pick Your Page and Lead Gen Forms
The Create Notifier screen has two sides. The Trigger on the left is where leads come from. The Action on the right is where they go.
In the Trigger panel, choose your LinkedIn Page under Select Page, then pick one or more lead gen forms under Select Form. LeadsNotify then lists the fields on those forms, such as first name, last name, email, company name and job title.
Only active forms are shown. If a form is missing, check that the form and its campaign are active in Campaign Manager.
Step 4: Connect SendGrid
The Action panel asks for your SendGrid API Key. These let LeadsNotify add leads to your SendGrid account.
Where to find your SendGrid API Key
- Log in to SendGrid.
- Go to Settings > API Keys and click Create API Key.
- Name it LeadsNotify and choose Full Access, or Custom Access with full Marketing permissions.
- Click Create & View and copy the key.
SendGrid shows the key only once. If you lose it, delete it and create a new one.
Paste the value into LeadsNotify and click Submit.
Step 5: Choose Where Leads Go, Then Submit
After you click Submit, LeadsNotify loads your SendGrid contact lists under Select list. Choose the list new leads should join, then scroll down and click Submit.
Tick Email me when a lead fails so you hear about it if a lead can’t be delivered, then click Submit. Your notifier appears under My Notifier, and the green switch means it’s live.
Step 6: Send a Test Lead and Check Lead Delivery
After you submit the notifier, LeadsNotify offers to send a test lead through it. You can also do this later: open My Notifier, click Edit on the notifier, then click TEST NOTIFIER.
Open Marketing > Contacts in SendGrid and look for the test lead in the list you chose. New contacts can take a few minutes to appear. If the test lead is there with the right details, the notifier is working.
Want to test with a submission from LinkedIn itself? In Campaign Manager, open your ad account, go to Content & Assets > Lead generation forms, click More next to the form and choose Send Test Lead. Use a real email address you own.
Then open Lead Delivery in LeadsNotify. Every attempt is listed with the Page, the form, the destination and a status of Delivered or Failed, and the Response column shows the exact reply from SendGrid. Our guide to the lead delivery status dashboard walks through every column.
Tips for Getting More From LinkedIn Leads in SendGrid
- SendGrid processes new contacts in batches, so a new contact can take a few minutes to show up.
Troubleshooting the LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to SendGrid Integration
Start with the Response column in Lead Delivery. It shows the exact reason SendGrid gave for a failed lead.
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No leads arriving at all | The LinkedIn Page shows DISCONNECTED, often after an admin role changes | Connectors > Linkedin > Connect To Linkedin, and tick the Page again |
| Your form isn’t in Select Form | Only active forms are shown | Check the form and campaign status in Campaign Manager, then reopen the notifier |
| Leads stopped after you edited the campaign | The campaign now uses a different lead gen form | Edit the notifier and select the new form |
| The key is rejected | The key does not have Marketing permissions | Create a key with Full Access, or Custom Access with Marketing enabled |
| A delivery shows Failed | SendGrid refused the lead | Open Lead Delivery and read the Response column for the reason |
