SendGrid

This is a modified version of the original Sendgrid plugin as the medusa team is not responsive to my pull request
This plugin is rewritten in typescript and added some extra features.
Handle sending emails to customers related to orders, restock notifications, users, or custom events.

Features

  • Send emails when an event related to orders, restock notifications, or users is triggered.
  • Use dynamic templates in SendGrid to build the emails to be sent.
  • Send emails with SendGrid for custom events.
Extra features:
  • BCC to a specific email addresses when order is placed if you want to send yourself the order and for example TrustPilot
  • Typescript support
  • Custom subject with dynamic data
