Using TemplateMailer to send email without a body about sendgrid-ruby

[thinkingserious]

Please try setting a non-empty string for the body value.

I've tried using 'hello' as the 'html' value, and I get the following response:

hello

This is my SendGrid Template
This is a substitution: bill

My goal is to only send the Template in the email, so that a non-technical person can use the SendGrid WYSIWYG editor to maintain the template over time. In the above example, I only want the last two lines of that email to be seen by the recipient.

Can you do '<%body%>'?

The <%body%> tag is the first line in my template. Looks like if I move this tag to the bottom that the html text I pass in displays at the bottom of the email, which I can work with.

One last question, is there a way to remove the <%body%> tag from the Template and still have it work, or to replace it entirely? I'm hoping to be able to do as much of the email design as possible in the WYSIWYG editor.

No, you must have the <%body%> tag.

Thanks for sharing your workaround. I'll push your feedback up to the product team.

Thanks!
