Why teams connect Materialize and SendGrid

Get the data locked inside SendGrid into Materialize as live tables, and send results back where SendGrid can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever SendGrid is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, List, Segments, Categories from SendGrid into tables in Materialize continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Materialize can also be written back into fields in SendGrid where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Keep product-usage attributes from an operational database updated on SendGrid contacts to drive lifecycle segments
  • Reconcile transactional email activity with support tickets so agents see what a customer was sent
  • Bridge streaming sources and non-streaming destinations by materializing joins across both.
  • Sync operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Materialize preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of SendGrid or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on SendGrid's data

Records and events from SendGrid land in Materialize as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine SendGrid's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

What you can sync between Materialize and SendGrid

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
