Hey folks… I’m trying to learn about using Sendgrid within Bubble. I’ve done the setup under Settings, and the Send Email action is working okay with the “Use a Sendgrid Template” option unchecked.

I have two questions:

1. Using a Template.  
I have created a Sendgrid template which has \<%body%\> in it, but none of the content I send from Bubble appears in my emails when sent with “Use a Sendgrid Template” checked, or for system emails such as password reset. What else do I need to do?

2. Sendgrid API Action  
Lots of the posts on the forum show this Sendgrid API action, with lots of VAR options, but I can’t find it anywhere.  
Where does this come from?  
Is it part of the Bubble implementation?  
Or is it an old CoBubble/CoPilot plugin?

This all seems rather poorly documented for such an important feature of Bubble… 🙁

Okay, I’ve answered my first question. If you create a Legacy Template in Sendgrid, it all works just fine!

Thoughts on question 2 much appreciated…
