I wrestled with this question for a few minutes, then found an obscure tip in Stack Overflow:

When wrapping tags with double brackets `{{list}}`, SendGrid interprets that as plan text.  
Wrapping that tag in triple brackets `{{{list}}}` and SendGrid will interpret it as HTML.

1. Add a code block in your SendGrid template:

1. Add your tag that will contain the list with triple brackets: `{{{list}}}`
2. {{{list}}} 

Back in Bubble, add the substitution tag “list”. Inside this tag add your list of things data field and “join with” `<br>` line break HTML tag.

**Voila! Your SendGrid email will have pretty lists separated with line breaks.**  
💪

Thanks. I’ve been messing with this all day. How do I pass in a single name? Ive tried {name}, {{name}}, { name }, {{ name }}, -name-, - name -.

Am I the only one who can’t figure this out?

I used firstname in the example above.

Just deleted my dynamic template and started over. Works now using {{firstname}}.

Guess we’ll never know
