Recently, I've been attempting to utilize SendGrid in my Zend application to send emails. Following the code example provided in the SendGrid documentation (using the Smtapi class and Swift), I proceeded with creating a template that includes specific placeholders represented by %variables%. Additionally, I constructed the necessary headers for SendGrid as instructed in their developer's guide.
Upon testing, the resulting output appeared like this:
{
"to": ["<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="513c30383d6011353e3c30383f7f323e3c">[email protected]</a>", "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="39545850550b795d5654585057175a5654">[email protected]</a>", "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f79a969e9bc4b793989a969e99d994989a">[email protected]</a>", "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="29444840451d694d4644484047074a4644">[email protected]</a>", "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1c6f7a6b6b72777a7a5c6f747d6e77707d6f796e6f327f7371">[email protected]</a>"],
"sub": {"%firstname%": ["Benny", "Chaim", "Ephraim", "Yehuda", "will"]},
"section": {"%postername%": "John Doe", "%postermail%": "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5238333f372112363d377c313d3f">[email protected]</a>", "%categoryname%": "General", "%threadname%": "Completely new thread", "%post%": "This thread is to inform you about something very important", "%threadurl%": "http:\/\/hb.local\/forums\/general\/thread\/143", "%replyto%": "http:\/\/hb.local\/forums\/general\/thread\/143", "%unsubscribeurl%": "http:\/\/hb.local\/forums\/settings\/", "%subscribeurl%": "http:\/\/hb.local\/forums\/subscribe-thread\/id\/143\/token\/1b20eb7799829e22ba2d48ca0867d3ce"}
}
However, I encountered an issue where the data defined in "sub" can be successfully updated, but the "section" remains unchanged. This results in the final email still displaying %postername%. Interestingly, when I moved this particular data from "section" to "sub" and repeated it for each email, everything functioned as expected.
If anyone has any insights into what may be causing this problem, your inputs would be greatly appreciated!
