Customers in BigCommerce and contacts in SendGrid drift out of sync, leading to outdated details on invoices, emails, and reports

How We Help

Connecting BigCommerce (e-commerce) with SendGrid (communication) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Retail & E-commerce and Manufacturing businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of contacts and tags data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, BigCommerce uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, and SendGrid authenticates via API key, which our team handles as part of the build.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep BigCommerce and SendGrid in sync, even as your business doubles.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying contacts between BigCommerce and SendGrid by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Unified Customers Across Both Platforms

Customers in BigCommerce and contacts in SendGrid stay perfectly aligned. Every update, whether it is a new phone number, email change, or company association, is reflected in both systems within seconds.

Real-Time Visibility Across Teams

When a record updates in BigCommerce, every team member working in SendGrid sees the change instantly. No lag, no stale dashboards, no conflicting reports.

BigCommerce to SendGrid Use Cases
