SendGrid - Event Responses with Custom parameters

We are implementing email system for mass mailing.

As per our requirements we are going to use send grid as a third party email service providers. The individual email activity track using post event responses from send grid to figure out percentage of spam, clicks, double clicks and bounces.

But while receiving event responses from send grid, we cannot differentiate multiple responses on same email address.

Shall it be possible that we will send some unique id with each email header sent through send grid and receive that unique email id in event responses?

You should be able to do what you suggest with unique ids. Just pass your identifier as a category. Categories are POSTed back with event responses for your use.

X-SMTPAPI: {"category" : "some_unique_id"}

There is currently no limit to the number of categories you can use on SendGrid so this solution should work.

edit: The way to do this now is with Unique Args
