How to login to my UCF (Sendgrid) Email Marketing Campaign Account

Sendgrid accounts are best suited for departments that will periodically reach out to a related community of 20 or more users.

First, we encourage teams to think about the following questions:

• How often will you be sending emails?
• How big is the group you will be emailing?
• Who on your team will be responsible for drafting, testing, and sending emails?
• If you have an email list, who is responsible for managing and curating it?
  
  

Email Marketing Campaign Prerequisites

Before you can start using the Email Marketing Campaign Service, you need to do the following:

1. Submit a Service-Now request to request credentials.
   
   • Sending email from the FROM address of @ucf.edu address is supported. To send email from another mail sub-domain, (example, bus.ucf.edu, ist.ucf.edu) additional CNAME records may need to be added to DNS. Mail domains may only be added if owned by UCF.
2. Obtain login access for your department.

 

Login
