Sendy Integration

Sendy is a custom hosted email solution that allows you to use Amazon SES to send your newsletters. Gleam integrates fully with Sendy, allowing you to send users from your campaigns to any list of your choice.

Integrating Sendy

You can enable the Sendy integration on the Pro plan & above. Simply navigate to Settings > Integrations then turn on Sendy.

There's a few things you will need to activate this integration:

• The URL of your hosted solution
• Your default List ID (You'll find this in the ID column next to the list)
• Your API key (Under Profile > Settings)

Custom Field Sync Support

We support the syncing of Custom Fields for Sendy through our Custom Field Sync feature, you can set this up via the Custom Field Mapping button when setting up the integration.

Sending Emails to Sendy

Once you've activated your Sendy integration within Gleam you will need to include a Subscribe action in your campaign.

This subscribe action can contain the name of the List you want to send subscribers to, please be aware that this list must exist within Sendy already.

Testing Your Sendy Integration

In order to test if emails successfully send to Sendy you need to do the following:

• Have a competition created with a Subscribe action
• Ensure that this action is linked to an existing list in Sendy
• Enter the action manually from your competition dashboard
• The action will become invalidated (since we automatically invalidate admin actions)
• Go to the Actions tab for that competition, then make your action valid
• It should appear in Sendy within a few minutes
