Is it possible to create a SendGrid account through Azure CLI? - azure

Question

Every tutorial and resource I've seen has you create a SendGrid account through the GUI, but I want to be able to use the cli. Is it possible?
Something like:
az sendgrid create

Answer 1

Although you cannot create a SendGrid account using Azure Cli, you can create one using an ARM template, as following
{
"$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"name": {
"type": "string"
},
"location": {
"type": "string"
},
"plan_name": {
"type": "string"
},
"plan_publisher": {
"type": "string"
},
"plan_product": {
"type": "string"
},
"plan_promotion_code": {
"type": "string"
},
"password": {
"type": "secureString"
},
"email": {
"type": "string"
},
"firstName": {
"type": "string"
},
"lastName": {
"type": "string"
},
"company": {
"type": "string"
},
"website": {
"type": "string"
},
"acceptMarketingEmails": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2015-01-01",
"name": "[parameters('name')]",
"type": "Sendgrid.Email/accounts",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"plan": {
"name": "[parameters('plan_name')]",
"publisher": "[parameters('plan_publisher')]",
"product": "[parameters('plan_product')]",
"promotionCode": "[parameters('plan_promotion_code')]"
},
"properties": {
"password": "[parameters('password')]",
"acceptMarketingEmails": "[parameters('acceptMarketingEmails')]",
"email": "[parameters('email')]",
"firstName": "[parameters('firstName')]",
"lastName": "[parameters('lastName')]",
"company": "[parameters('company')]",
"website": "[parameters('website')]"
}
}
]
Then you can use az group deployment create to provision your template.
