AI & Custom Integration Examples

Beyond system-to-system connections, we build custom AI solutions and interfaces powered by SendGrid data.

Send Time Optimization

AI analyzes recipient engagement patterns to determine optimal send times. "This customer typically opens emails at 9am on weekdays - scheduling delivery for 8:55am."

Subject Line AI

AI suggests and A/B tests subject lines based on historical performance. Predicts open rates before sending. Learns what resonates with your audience segments.

Content Personalization

AI dynamically personalizes email content based on recipient data and behavior. Product recommendations, content blocks, and offers tailored per recipient.

Deliverability Intelligence

AI monitors sending patterns and reputation to prevent deliverability issues. "Sending velocity spike detected - throttling to protect sender reputation."
