Send emails with SendGrid
SendGrid is a popular email service provider. The free plan gives you 100 emails/day to play around with the service. The SendGrid Nuget Package makes C# integration easy and smooth. This article will show you how to integrate SendGrid with a Asp.NET Core Web API project.
Dependency Injection
Install nuget pakcage SendGrid.Extensions.DependencyInjection.
You need an api key to register the service.
services.AddSendGrid(options =>
{
options.ApiKey = apiKey;
});
Send emails
You can now inject ISendGridClient to wherever you need to send emails.
var from = new EmailAddress(_emailOptions.FromEmail, _emailOptions.FromName);
var to = new EmailAddress(toEmail, toName);
var msg = MailHelper.CreateSingleEmail(from, to, subject, plainTextContent, htmlContent);
var response = await _sendGridClient.SendEmailAsync(msg, cancellationToken);
