Google Workspace / Gmail has a limit on the number of emails you can send per day (2000), as well as the number of unique recipients you can email per day (100).
To prevent unexpected errors once these limits are hit, we recommend setting up a Sendgrid account which costs just $20 a month for 50,000 emails.
It will still send out from your Gmail account, and you'll still receive replies to Gmail. The only caveat is that if you'd like to see your outgoing submissions in your Gmail sent folder (even if the funder didn't respond), you'll have to CC yourself on all subs - which you can do automatically in MCA Pilot.
To set up a Sendgrid account, you will need access to your domain's DNS settings.
Here are the steps:

Once created, go to Integration Guide (on the left sidebar) and choose SMTP Relay
