Receive inbound email via SendGrid Inbound Parse webhook. Covers MX record setup, parsed vs raw mode, handling attachments, and common pitfalls. Use when building email-to-app workflows like support ticket creation or email processing pipelines. Requires a SendGrid API key (SG.-prefix) — not applicable to the Twilio Email API (comms.twilio.com).

```sh
git clone https://github.com/twilio/ai /tmp/ai && ln -s /tmp/ai/skills/sendgrid/twilio-sendgrid-inbound-parse ~/.claude/skills/twilio-sendgrid-inbound-parse
