Export contact lists

Last updated
In this destination service, DinMo will create lists of contacts and keep them up to date in SendGrid.
To do so, you will need to go through these three steps:
Creating a SendGrid destination. Refer to the for more info.
Creating a user segment composed of all the users that will populate your SendGrid contact list. Refer to this to learn how to build segments without SQL in DinMo.
Activating the segment to the SendGrid destination to start sending data. Refer to the for more info.
Each time the activation will be running:
Any new user entering your DinMo segment will be added to your SendGrid list
Any user leaving your DinMo segment will be removed from your SendGrid list
Note that only users who have an email linked to a SendGrid contact will be present in your SendGrid list. In this service, DinMo will not create new contacts in SendGrid.
To start exporting lists, you are first required to create a SendGrid destination with the corresponding destination service.
At the end of the destination creation, you will be proposed to setup Default Activation Settings. This step is optional, but is highly recommended to facilitate the activation process.
Note that even if you setup default settings, you will still be able to adjust activation settings for each of your activations if you wish to.
Once the destination has been setup, and your DinMo segment created, you can create an activation to start sending data to SendGrid right away. The segment will be exported as a contact list in SendGrid.
In this section, the name you enter will be the name given to the list created in SendGrid.
By default, and if you activate your segment using the default activation settings, the name of the list will be the DinMo segment name.
In the Fields mapping section, you are asked to specify which field corresponds to the email address of the users of the segment.
In this section, specify how often the list should be updated in SendGrid. Every time the list is updated:
Any new user having entered your DinMo segment since the last update will be added to your list, if and only if this user is already an existing SendGrid contact
Any user having left your DinMo segment since the last update will be removed from your list
By configuring default settings, synchronizing all your contacts lists to SendGrid will just take one click. Without default settings, you will be required to go through the each time you activate a new segment.
Refer to the for more info about the default settings configuration process.
