You should setup the event webhook for your app. Once you do, you'll get POSTs to your app in the format:

{
  "email":"[email protected]",
  "timestamp":1322000095,
  "unique_arg":"my unique arg",
  "category": "some_category",
  "event":"delivered"
}

Since you're using Rails, you should also check out GridHook. SendGrid doesn't officially support it, but there are a number of people in the open source community working on it. With that, you'll be able to do something like:

Gridhook.configure do |config|
  # The path we want to receive events
  config.event_receive_path = '/sendgrid/event'

  config.event_processor = proc do |event|
     # event is a Gridhook::Event object
     EmailEvent.create! event.attributes
  end
end

To get status of sent email, use sendgrid webhooks as described here

Once this is setup, sendgrid will notify your url for the following events:

  • Processed: Message has been received and is ready to be delivered.
  • Dropped: Recipient exists in one or more of your Suppression Lists: Bounces, Spam Reports, Unsubscribes.
  • Delivered: Message has been successfully delivered to the receiving server.
  • Deferred: Recipient’s email server temporarily rejected message.
  • Bounce: Receiving server could not or would not accept message.
  • Open: Recipient has opened the HTML message.
  • Click: Recipient clicked on a link within the message.
  • Spam Report: Recipient marked message as spam.
  • Unsubscribe: Recipient clicked on messages’s subscription management link.
