How do I create a SendGrid contact list?

Short answer: You can create list in SendGrid by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the SendGrid Create List action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create List.

What does the Create List action do in SendGrid?

Creates a new contact list in SendGrid. Use to spin up campaign-scoped audiences from your CRM segments.

What inputs does Create List require?

Required: List Name. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if SendGrid returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message SendGrid returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create List support batch operations?

Run Create List inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within SendGrid's rate limits.
