Questions about Thunkable

I need a good advice to Send pictures directly from phone with Sengrid. It takes to long to upload it first and then send it. Could I just get the mediaUrl from cloudinary and then upload the picture while taking the new picture. I also like to take a video and send together with the pictures.
I need some good advice how to do his.

Hey @funhall - if there some particular reason you have to use Sendgrid (I wouldn’t be overly familiar with this myself)

The share component has a dedicated shareImage block - would that work in your use case?

Hi Domhnall.
Not particular but I need to send the pictures directly to one specific email each time. So is there a nother way to kind of make that auto I dont have to use sendgrid.

I am using sendgrid for sendig a payment reciept but have a problem with the api request maybe you can help with that.
I am sending this syntax.
“personalizations”: [{“to”: [{“email”: “info@funhall.dk”,“name”: “John Doe”}],“dynamic_template_data”: { “sender_name”: “”,“ole peter”: “” },“subject”: “Reciept!”}],“from”: {“email”: “info@funhall.dk”,“name”: “John doe”},“reply_to”: {“email”: “martin@funhall.dk”,“name”: “martin”},“template_id”: “d-51e82b485ba24d418abb29a6f4b13639”}
But I dont get the “sender_Name” into the dynamic template" I get the template in the email just with out the name. I have read all there api guide etc. but cant find help anywhere.

I hope you can help me with these 2 things.
Thanks
-Martin

I’m guessing there’s some error with how you are sending in the information in the first place.

The reason you’re not getting a sender_name is because there is no sender_name value, it’s just an empty string, look closely below:

There is a sender_name property, with a value of “”
then there is a separate ole peter property, which also has a value of “”.

Like I said, I’m not familiar with Sendgrid at all, but it looks like the issue is occurring upstream here.

No problem at all @funhall - sounds like a really interesting service. Do you think that other members of this Community would find Sendgrid useful? How did you find out about it?

Thanks.

I thought from your question that you were using Sendgrid to do this?
