How To Whitelist Sendgrid Emails

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to whitelist a sender domain in Gmail to prevent spam filtering.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to create a Gmail filter that marks emails from a specific SendGrid domain as Never send to Spam, ensuring transactional and marketing emails always reach your inbox. Follow the step-by-step walkthrough to set up a Gmail filter using the Filters and Blocked Addresses settings in under two minutes.


Steps

  1. Open Gmail and click the gear icon (Settings), then click See all settings.
  2. Click Filters and Blocked Addresses in the Settings tab bar.
  3. Click Create a new filter at the bottom of the filters list.
  4. Click the From field and enter the SendGrid domain name you want to whitelist.
  5. Click Create filter to proceed to the filter action options.
  6. Check the option Never send it to Spam to ensure matching emails bypass the spam folder.
  7. Click Create filter to save and activate your new filter.
  8. Confirm your filter is created and now active in your filters list.

📌 Why this matters

Transactional and marketing emails sent via SendGrid are frequently mislabeled as spam by Gmail, causing missed notifications and poor deliverability. Creating a dedicated Gmail filter to whitelist a sender domain ensures critical emails — such as account alerts, receipts, and campaign messages — always land in the inbox. This Gmail spam filter workaround is essential for teams relying on email service providers like SendGrid to reach their audiences reliably. Properly configured inbox filters improve email deliverability, reduce support tickets caused by missing emails, and give senders greater control over how Gmail handles their messages.
