SendGrid Mailer
Lightweight Azure Functions endpoint that delivers email through the SendGrid API. Useful for notifications, test emails, and scripted delivery with optional attachments.
Typical API response
HTTP 200 · application/json
{"status":"sent","messageId":"abc123..."}
Each successful request delivers one email via SendGrid.
Endpoints
POST /api/contact
Public contact-form endpoint for static sites. Uses honeypot validation, optional Origin allowlist, and fixed to/from addresses.
POST /api/sendmail?code=<function-key>
General mail API for trusted callers. Requires function-level authentication (authLevel: function).
About
The API sends email using the Node.js @sendgrid/mail SDK
(api.sendgrid.com by default). The SendGrid API key is stored server-side —
static sites call /api/contact only and never receive mail credentials.
/api/sendmail supports to, from, subject,
contentHtml, contentText, and attachments.
/api/contact accepts name, email, subject,
message, and honeypot website.

ALLOWED_ORIGINSto restrict which site origins may call/api/contact. GET /api/healthreturns{"status":"ok"}for pipeline health checks.- CAPTCHA (Turnstile/reCAPTCHA) is planned for a future release.
