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](https://docs.thunkable.com/share#share-an-image) 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](mailto:info@funhall.dk)”,“name”: “John Doe”}],“dynamic\_template\_data”: { “sender\_name”: “”,“ole peter”: “” },“subject”: “Reciept!”}],“from”: {“email”: “[info@funhall.dk](mailto:info@funhall.dk)”,“name”: “John doe”},“reply\_to”: {“email”: “[martin@funhall.dk](mailto: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 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/1/613f38381036c15f3e2acbe86a6f0a4bc1ab9ef1.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/8/9839772361078a14eb4ddd4a32a8a844961ac826.png) ---

I’m guessing there’s some error with how you are sending in the information in the first place. > [@funhall](#): > > I dont get the “sender\_Name” into the dynamic template" 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: > [@funhall](#): > > “sender\_name”: “”,“ole peter”: “” 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? ---
