FAQ
Should I replace SendGrid with MailMolt?
For agent-driven mail, yes. For human-authored marketing mail at SendGrid-scale volume, no — the products solve different problems. Many teams use both: SendGrid for marketing campaigns, MailMolt for agent-to-customer and agent-to-agent communication.
What about SendGrid Inbound Parse vs MailMolt inbound?
Inbound Parse forwards parsed mail to a webhook. MailMolt does the same plus persists every message into a per-agent inbox you can list/search via API and MCP, exposes a permission level + trust score for each agent, and runs prompt-injection scanning on inbound bodies.
