8. Navigate to `Integrations` and click the `Add Integration` button.

## Inbound
Email sending is not the only important part, you also need to keep track of things like email opens, clicks, unsubscribes, bounces and complaints. Edesy Email automatically takes care of opens, clicks and unsubscribes for you, but bounces and complaints require webhooks from SendGrid.

To setup inbound webhooks, do the following:
1. Open the [SendGrid console](https://app.sendgrid.com) and go to `Sending -> Mail Settings -> Webhook Settings`
2. Hit `Create new webhook`
3. Enter the Edesy Email SendGrid unsubscribe URL for your provider (which can be found on the provider details screen)
4. Under `Actions to be posted` select `Spam Reports`, `Dropped` and `Bounced`
5. Hit `Create Webhook`
