# sendgrid-pusher-demo
Demo of using SendGrid's Parse API with Pusher to change the background color. Copycatted from [Kunal](https://github.com/kunal732)'s excellent .
## Guide
[Create a SendGrid account](http://sendgrid.com).
[Create a Pusher account](http://pusher.com/).
```
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit .env with your credentials.
Edit the Pusher key at about line 19 of public/index.html.
Visit and set the following.

Save it.
```
npm install
node app.js
ngrok -subdomain color 3000
```
(don't have ngrok, [install it](https://ngrok.com))
Send an email to [hi@color.webhook.email](mailto:hi@color.webhook.email). Set the subject to a color - like 'red', or 'blue'.
Watch the background change colors.
## Approach
* Cmd + F1
* I'm with a cool API company called SendGrid.
* We make it easy to send and receive email from your applications.
* Rather than talk about it let me show you.
* **show sending** It's as easy as building a url and pasting it in your browser.
* We have libraries too.
* You can use this for signup emails, password resets, notifications, whatever you can imagine.
* But that's not all. We do receiving email too.
* Demo the receiving.
* Announce prize.
