They use different terminology but you’re still connecting to what is essentially a standard SMTP server, which will require authentication.

Go to the `Teammates` section - [https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/teammates](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/teammates)

In there you will see the account details that are able to send email:

The value in the “Username” column is what you need to enter in the Discourse setting `DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME`

So if the “Username” was `SK2019` then you’d have something like:

```plaintext
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: smtp.sendgrid.net
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: SK2019
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: 'xxxx.xxxxxx.xxxx'

```
