Mail marketing best option?

Since my webisites are growing, I’m checking which is the best option between buying Wix email monthly packs or building an integration with Sendgrid or Mailchimp, etc…
I currently will need mails coming from blog posts pubblication (150 users to be updated with 2/3 posts a day).

I’d like to have some help to understand:

  • if you integrate for example with sendgrid, do you need to create templates in sendgrid to substitute wix email templates coming from (just example) wix blog posts / automation?
    -what do you suggest as the best option?
  • do I need zapier to trigger template automation or can it be done by Velo?

Let’s start from this…
Thanks in advance

Automated emails count as part of the email quota so if the intent is to use another provider then yes you’d need to have sendgrid send out all emails.

Wix offers a lot of automation options: Wix Automations: Creating a New Automation | Help Center | Wix.com but you can also trigger them from Velo with: emailMember - Velo API Reference - Wix.com plus an event that calls emailMember() such as onPostCreated - Velo API Reference - Wix.com
