FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SendGrid show inbox placement rate?
No. SendGrid reports delivery events (accepted, bounced, deferred) and engagement metrics, but cannot tell you whether delivered mail went to the inbox, promotions tab, or spam folder. That requires seed list testing at major ISPs — which SendGrid does not provide. InboxEagle fills this gap with placement tests across 20+ providers.
Can InboxEagle monitor emails sent via SendGrid?
Yes. InboxEagle monitors your sending domain and IP reputation independently of your sending infrastructure. Whether you send via SendGrid's shared IPs or dedicated IPs, InboxEagle tracks where your mail lands and alerts you to placement drops. The two tools work side by side.
What does InboxEagle add that SendGrid's Event Webhook doesn't provide?
SendGrid's Event Webhook tells you what happened during the SMTP transaction — accepted, bounced, deferred. InboxEagle tells you what happened after acceptance: did the message land in the inbox or in spam? It also adds DMARC aggregate report monitoring, AI-driven diagnosis, and proactive reputation alerts that SendGrid's event stream does not provide.
Is InboxEagle a replacement for SendGrid?
No. SendGrid is your email sending infrastructure. InboxEagle is a monitoring and intelligence layer added on top. You continue using SendGrid to send; InboxEagle monitors inbox placement, sender reputation, and DMARC health in real time.
How does InboxEagle help with SendGrid dedicated IP warm-up?
InboxEagle's seed list testing lets you verify inbox placement at each ISP during warm-up, rather than relying on open rates or bounce rates alone. The Email Warmup Planner tool generates a volume schedule, and real-time monitoring alerts you if any ISP starts filtering mail to spam during the warm-up window.
