> [!IMPORTANT]
> ***As of Flowpipe 1.0.0, `credential` has been renamed to `connection`.  The `sendgrid` credential resource is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Flowpipe. Use the [sendgrid connection](/docs/reference/config-files/connection/sendgrid) instead.***

The `sendgrid` credential can be used to access SendGrid resources.

```hcl
credential "sendgrid" "my_sendgrid" {
  api_key = "SG.R7..."
}
```

## Arguments

| Name            | Type    | Required?| Description
|-----------------|---------|----------|-------------------
| `api_key`       |  String | Optional | SendGrid API Key

All arguments are optional, and a `sendgrid` credential with no arguments will behave the same as the [default credential](#default-credential).

## Attributes (Read-Only)

| Attribute       | Type    | Description
|-----------------|---------|-----------------
| `env`           | Map     | A map of the resolved credential-related environment variables (`SENDGRID_API_KEY`)

## Default Credential

The `sendgrid` credential type includes an implicit, default credential (`credential.sendgrid.default`) that will be configured to set the `api_key` to the `SENDGRID_API_KEY` environment variable.

```hcl
credential "sendgrid" "default" {
  api_key = env("SENDGRID_API_KEY")
}
```
