Common questions
Does my SendGrid client keep working?
Yes. The shim speaks SendGrid's wire format — change the host URL and every existing send() call works unchanged.
What happens to my templates and suppressions?
Auto-imported at signup. Suppression and bounce lists stay intact so you never re-mail a hard bounce.
Is there downtime during cutover?
No. Weighted DNS shifts traffic 0% → 100% over 60 minutes while both providers stay live.
Can I roll back?
Instantly. SendGrid stays warm for 30 days and DNS rollback is one API call, effective in under a second.
