How to Use a Microsoft Access Database to Update SendGrid Data in Real Time


Update SendGrid data by creating a linked table in Microsoft Access with the CData SendGrid ODBC Driver.

CData ODBC drivers connect your data to any database management tool that supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). This includes many of the most popular productivity tools, adding new capabilities for document sharing and collaboration. Using the CData ODBC driver for SendGrid, you can update live SendGrid data in Microsoft Access; for example, you can make updates that can be immediately seen by other users.

Connect to SendGrid as an ODBC Data Source

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

To make use of all the available features, provide the User and Password connection properties.

To connect with limited features, you can set the APIKey connection property instead. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide to obtaining the API key.

Create a Linked Table to AdvancedStats Data

Follow the steps below to create a linked table, which enables you to access live AdvancedStats data.

  1. On the External Data tab in Access, click ODBC Database.
  2. Select the option to link to the data source. A linked table will enable you to read from and write data to the AdvancedStats table.

  3. Select the CData SendGrid data source from the Machine Data Source tab.

  4. Select the AdvancedStats table. For more information on this table, see the "Data Model" chapter in the help documentation.

  5. Double-click the linked table to make edits. The linked table will always have up-to-date data and any changes will be reflected back to the underlying table.
