Connector-specific features & highlights, if any

We recommend creating a key specifically for Airbyte access. This will allow you to control which resources Airbyte should be able to access. The API key should be read-only on all resources except Marketing, where it needs Full Access. Sendgrid provides two different kinds of marketing campaigns, "legacy marketing campaigns" and "new marketing campaigns". Legacy marketing campaigns are not supported by this source connector. If you are seeing a 403 FORBIDDEN error message for https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/campaigns, it might be because your SendGrid account uses legacy marketing campaigns.

Performance considerations

The connector is restricted by normal Sendgrid requests limitation.
