Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up an email header in SendGrid's Design Editor.

Quick summary

Creating an email header in SendGrid involves configuring Single Send Settings — including sender, subject, preheader, and recipient list — directly inside the Design Editor. Once all header details are verified, saving the settings applies them to your email campaign instantly.


Steps

  1. Inside SendGrid's Design Editor, tap 'Single Send Settings' under the Settings tab.
  2. Click the 'From Sender' menu and choose a sender from the list of options.
  3. Fill in the remaining required fields: Subject, Preheader, Categories, and Email Title in their respective input fields.
  4. Scroll down to the Recipients section and tap the 'Send To' menu.
  5. Choose the specific contact list that contains your intended recipients.
  6. Navigate to the top section and review your email header details to confirm all information is correct.
  7. Tap 'Save' to apply all changes to your email header.

📌 Why this matters

Configuring a proper email header in SendGrid is essential for ensuring your campaigns reach the right audience with accurate sender information, subject lines, and recipient lists. A correctly set up email header improves deliverability, sender trust, and inbox placement rates. SendGrid's Design Editor streamlines this process by centralizing all header settings — from From Sender to preheader text — in a single, intuitive panel. For marketers and developers managing high-volume email campaigns, mastering this workflow reduces setup errors and accelerates time to send.
