Sendgrid-csharp: How to send e-mail using template
I didn't understand one thing. Even though I created a transactional email template on sendgrid.com and referenced it on my code, I had to had a Content object to the Mail object and the message arrived as text/plain (probably because of the Content object).
How can I use just the template created on the website?
var sg = new SendGridAPIClient(".....");
var from = new Email("[email protected]", "Name");
String subject = "The subject";
var to = new Email(txtEmail.Text, txtNome.Text);
var mail = new Mail();
mail.TemplateId = "...........";
var content = new Content();
content.Type = "text/plain";
content.Value = "Textual content";
mail.AddContent(content);
var memStream = new MemoryStream();
openFileDialog1.OpenFile().CopyTo(memStream);
String file = Convert.ToBase64String(memStream.ToArray());
var attachment = new Attachment();
attachment.Filename = "file.pdf";
attachment.Content = file;
attachment.Type = "application/pdf";
attachment.Disposition = "attachment";
attachment.ContentId = "certificado";
mail.AddAttachment(attachment);
var personalization = new Personalization();
personalization.Tos = new List<Email>();
personalization.Tos.Add(to);
personalization.AddSubstitution("%NOME%", txtNome.Text);
mail.AddPersonalization(personalization);
mail.From = from;
mail.Subject = subject;
dynamic response = sg.client.mail.send.post(requestBody: mail.Get());

Hi juliano,Change content.Type = "text/plain" to content.Type = "text/html" Then it should work RegardsDennis Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Hi Juliano, Also, make sure your selected template is active and copy it's ID, and replace it here:mail.TemplateId = "..........."; Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Hi Dennis. What value do I have to use with content object considering I'm using a template?

Hi juliano,I don't understand your question. Can u specify which content object value you want to pass? Do mean this content.Value = "Textual content";? Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Exactly. When I tried to send without the Content object, Sendgrid return an error saying that the Content type and value should have at least one character.
If I change content.Type to text/html, do I need to repeat the template HTML on content.Value?

Hi Juliano, Can you try this:1. Remove the content type objects and do the following :String mimeType = "text/html";Content content = new Content(mimeType, message);Mail mail = new Mail(from, subject, to, content);mail.TemplateId = templateId; I'll try your code when I can, but that should work Regards Dennis Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

I saw that if I use new Content("text/html", " ") (with just a space on Content value parameter) it works. The problem now is that is seems to send just the HTML version (if I try to view as text on Gmail it shows the HTML code).

Aha, now I suppose that the problem could lie in your template code.when you try to preview your template in sendgrid, do u get the desired output? Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Actually I had to do two things to solve it. First, explicitly add both content types and make sure that text/plain is added to the Contents collection prior to adding text/html.
Now it works fine. Thanks for your help.

Within days, the requirement for including content when you have a template defined will be removed.

The content object is no longer required when you specify a template ID.
Thank you for your patience and support!
