Create a SendGrid drip campaign

[D-K-P]

Description

Create a simple email drip campaign using SendGrid

The drip campaign should send a series of emails after a series of delays:

• First email sent immediately on an eventTrigger
• Second email sent 24 hours later
• Third email sent 5 days later
• Fourth email sent 30 days later

Use Zod to define the schema:

to: email-address
from: email-address
name: first-name / fall-back-name

Separate for each email:

subject: subject-text
text: email-text

Details:

• Use our SendGrid integration.
• Look at this Resend drip campaign reference, it's a useful reference to copy. Remember that SendGrid does not use React email so that all needs to be removed and replaced.

Requirements:

1. Follow this guide to get the project setup.

2. Create a new file in the src folder, named appropriately.

3. The Trigger.dev client must be defined at the top of the job, with the 'jobs-showcase' id:

const client = new TriggerClient({ id: "jobs-showcase" });

4. You must add the Express specific lines to the bottom of the Job file:

// These lines can be removed if you don't want to use express
import { createExpressServer } from "@trigger.dev/express";
createExpressServer(client);

5. You must add the new Job to the package.json file, in this format:

"scripts": {     
  //..other scripts
  "your-job-name": "nodemon --watch src/your-job-name.ts -r tsconfig-paths/register -r dotenv/config src/events.ts"   
} 

Important

You must test this Job works before submitting your PR, including a screenshot of a successful run. This may involve you having to setup accounts with services.

Hey @D-K-P can you assign to me this issue?

Done - go for it :)

@OshriAsulin how are you going with this?

Hey I see that this wasn't tagged for Hacktoberfest but I took a shot at it anyway!

Here is my pull request.

I did not test it completely since I don't have a SendGrid API key (and I'm having trouble signing up for an account).
