Hey Vini,

Did you verify your sendgrid key is valid? Also verify if your config looks like the below in plugins.js

email: {
    config: {
      provider: 'sendgrid',
      providerOptions: {
        apiKey: env('SENDGRID_API_KEY'),
      },
      settings: {
        defaultFrom: 'hello@email.com',
        defaultReplyTo: 'hello@email.com',
      },
    },
  }
