Link Branding

Email link branding (formerly "Link Whitelabel") allows all of the click-tracked links, opens, and images in your emails to be served from your domain rather than sendgrid.net. Spam filters and recipient servers look at the links within emails to determine whether the email looks trustworthy. They use the reputation of the root domain to determine whether the links can be trusted.

You can also manage link branding in the Sender Authentication section of the Twilio SendGrid App.

For more information, please see our Link Branding documentation.

Retrieve the default branded link

GET /v3/whitelabel/links/default

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com

This endpoint allows you to retrieve the default branded link.

The default branded link is the actual URL to be used when sending messages. If you have more than one branded link, the default is determined by the following order:

  • The validated branded link marked as default (set when you call the "Create a branded link" endpoint or by calling the "Update a branded link" endpoint on an existing link)
  • Legacy branded links (migrated from the whitelabel wizard)
  • Default SendGrid-branded links (i.e., 100.ct.sendgrid.net)

You can submit this request as one of your subusers if you include their ID in the on-behalf-of header in the request.

Authentication

  • API Key

Headers

Authorization
string
default: Bearer <<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>>
required
on-behalf-of
string

The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.
