Customer Onboarding Recommendations for ISVs: How to Set Customers Up for Success

Independent software vendors (ISVs) integrating with SendGrid APIs can enhance their customer onboarding process by following a structured framework to ensure successful email program operations. The recommended phases include vetting customers to confirm their legitimacy and compliance with terms and acceptable use policies, verifying sender domains to establish trust and deliverability, and vetting email content to align with business goals while adhering to best practices. New customers should undergo a pilot phase to gradually increase their sending volume, leveraging IP pools to manage email programs optimally. Continuous monitoring of IP pools and customer performance through tools like Twilio SendGrid Deliverability Insights can preemptively address sending issues, while engaging customers through support and training can foster positive relationships. Ongoing governance is essential to enforce policies and manage escalations, and Twilio Professional Services offers expert guidance to ISVs navigating the complexities of running email platforms.
