Using PostBrix with SendGrid

SendGrid Dynamic Templates natively support Handlebars! This means variables and conditionals created in PostBrix work directly:

• Variables: {{firstName}} (works out of the box)
• Nested Objects: {{order.number}} (works out of the box)
• Loops: {{#each items}}...{{/each}} (works out of the box)
• Conditionals: {{#if isVip}}...{{/if}} (works out of the box)

Important: In your footer, replace your placeholder unsubscribe link with SendGrid’s required tag:

<p><a href="{{{unsubscribe}}}">Unsubscribe from this list</a></p>

Dispatching your template with dynamic data using SendGrid’s Node.js SDK:

const sgMail = require('@sendgrid/mail');
sgMail.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);

const msg = {
  to: 'customer@example.com',
  from: 'orders@acme.com',
  templateId: 'd-938210abc4910248',
  dynamicTemplateData: {
    firstName: 'Alex',
    order: {
      number: 'PB-90182',
      items: [
        { name: 'Mechanical Keyboard', price: '$149.00' }
      ]
    }
  }
};

await sgMail.send(msg);
