## Step 2: Handling Bounces and Rejections

When an email is classified as bounced, rejected or unsubscribed by SendGrid, Growlytics also needs to be notified so that no further deliveries to that mailbox are attempted by Growlytics.&#x20;

To enable support for **bounce** and **dropped** processing, follow the steps below:

1. Login to your SendGrid account.
2. Go to **Mail Settings > Event Notification**. Enable the Event Notification like mentioned in image below. Also make sure you have selected `Dropped`, `Bounced` from options.&#x20;
