Step-by-Step Guide to Using the GenderAPI Pipedream Integration

Step 1: Create a Trigger to Add a New Contact via Twilio SendGrid

  • In the first step, add a SendGrid trigger. This trigger will run every 15 minutes when a new contact is added.
  • App: SendGrid.

  • Timer: Every 15 minutes
  • Enter API Key, Click on "Save and continue" to proceed.

Step 2: Retrieve Gender Information Using GenderAPI via Email

  • In the second step, add the GenderAPI app. This step will determine the gender based on the contact's email address.
  • App: GenderAPI.io
  • Action: Email to Gender
  • Connection: Select the GenderAPI Connection and set API Key
  • Email: Enter the email address for gender determination, or link the email from SendGrid's contact data.
  • Optionally, you can add a country filter to improve the accuracy.

Step 3: Add or Update Contact Information in SendGrid

  • In the third step, add the SendGrid app again to update or add the contact's information.
  • App: SendGrid.
  • Action: Add or Update Contact
  • Connection: SendGrid Connection (Connect to your SendGrid account)
  • Email: Link the email address of the contact from SendGrid.
