better way to send individual emails than Airtable...

[Sandra_Shields]

I want to be able to send HTML emails to my contacts in Airtable. I’ve used the SendGrid app, but it only sends text emails. I’ve tried Zapier to integrate Airtable with Mailjet. The problem is it needs a “trigger,” and I want to sent out general emails (newsletters) without a trigger, just whenever I need to send them. Any suggestions? Is this something that a knowledgeable API person would be able to configure? I’m willing to pay someone to do it.
Thank you.

Have you looked at Zapier Push Zap? https://zapier.com/help/push/

It’s a extension for chrome that you can use to manually trigger a Zap.

The SendGrid block now supports HTML! Just check the “Send as HTML” toggle when drafting your message.

Hey Team - I could be missing something here but I can’t seem to get HTML emails working with the Send Email Automation. I can get it working fine with the SendGrid Blocks.

Is this something that’s been disabled or in the pipeline? Or am I just doing something stupid?

I am asking the same thing…someone must have an answer since OCTOBER…
