README

Twilio SendGrid is a cloud-based email delivery platform that provides email activity tracking and analytics. Use this integration to collect email activity events such as deliveries, opens, clicks, bounces, and spam reports.
Note: You must purchase additional email activity history to access the Email Activity Feed API.

This is the default integration for this content pack when configured by the Data Onboarder in Cortex XSIAM.
