You need to have a API key to use the app. To configure the API key in the environment variables follow these steps.
- create .env file in the root directory of the project.
- Copy the contents of .env_sample file in to the .env file
- Once you have obtained the API key, find the environment variable SENDGRID_API_KEY and assign your API key as it's value. As an example it should look like this
SENDGRID_API_KEY='<YOUR_API_KEY>';

You can copy the .env_example file located in the "examples" folder to .env in your project's root.
cp examples/.env_sample .env
Once you have edited the file and added your API Key, you can add the variable to your environment:
source .env
