I can not send emails with Sendgrid/mail

[The-Caesar]

Dear,

I can not send emails :(

I get this response:

{ Error: Bad Request at Request.http [as _callback] (...\module\storemonitoring-fa\node_modules\@sendgrid\client\src\classes\client.js:124:25) at Request.self.callback (...\module\storemonitoring-fa\node_modules\@sendgrid\client\node_modules\request\request.js:185:22) at emitTwo (events.js:126:13) at Request.emit (events.js:214:7) at Request.

Can you post your code that is throwing this? Also, if you can inspect body: { errors: [Array] } you might have some more clues. Since it's a 400, it's on the client side, and likely how you're building up the request to the servers.

here what i do to send mail i declare: 1- const sgMail = require('@sendgrid/mail'); then i configure my mail with APIKey 2- sgMail.setApiKey(config.sendGridAPIKey); then i fill my emailsData with Emails that i want to send depending on my treatment: 3- let emailsData = []; then i send my emails: 4- sgMail.send(emailsData) and for the body i'm using html as body from emailtemplate.js

const htmlTemplate = templateHelper.generateNewMatchingsHTML(matchingsStats);

generateEmailStoreData(emails, retailChainId, storeId, htmlTemplate) { return { 'from': 'xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx', 'to': 'emails', 'subject':[Stores-monitoring] ${retailChainId} - ${storeId}, 'html': htmlTemplate }; }

PS: it was to work but not anymore

Hello @The-Caesar,

It looks like emailsData is of the wrong type. Please see this example.

With Best Regards,

emailsData is a array of emails wich is filled with hmtl template depends on my treatement, as i said before so when i want to send an email i just push my email to "emailsData" and send them all by calling "sgMail.send(emailsData)" so in other word i'm sending many emails in just one call !!

[aroach]

Comparing with the example code shared by Elmer, emailsData in your example should be a JavaScript Object and not an array. The to property of the JS Object can be an array.

let emailsData = { to: [], ... }

Please give that a try and let us know!

I can verify this: (It worked a few days ago, updated to latest npm (after fail, still fails))

const sgMail = require('@sendgrid/mail');

const sendGridAPIKey = someMagic();
sgMail.setApiKey(sendGridAPIKey);

const sendWelcomeEmail = async (email, name) => {
    try {
        await sgMail.send({
            to: email,
            from: 'fancy@email.not',
            subject: 'Welcome to my site',
            text: `Welcome to the app, ${name}.`,
            html: ''
        });
    } catch (e) {
        console.log(e);
    }
};

Output:

@izznogooood, I tried this same block of code in my application. Not getting any errors but the emails are not sending at all.

[izznogooood]

yup, something's up...

I use it for testing so not as bad for me. But happy to help.

[Full-Stack-Zach]

I've been working on this for a while now and can't get SendGrid to consistently send emails any way I try in NodeJs. Currently looking at other service providers because I need email functionality to start working soon. Let me know if you figure out how to get it working. I'd love to stick with this if it works.

[aroach]

The code block provided never calls the sendWelcomeEmail() function, and so it never executes.

But, after fixing that, this code worked (note that I removed the empty html property:

Tested using node v8.12.0.

const sgMail = require('@sendgrid/mail');

const sendGridAPIKey = 'SG.xxx.yyy';
sgMail.setApiKey(sendGridAPIKey);

const email = 'me@gmail.com';
const name = 'Ashley Roach';

const sendWelcomeEmail = async (email, name) => {
    try {
        await sgMail.send({
            to: email,
            from: 'fancy@email.not',
            subject: 'Welcome to my site',
            text: `Welcome to the app, ${name}.`,
        });
    } catch (e) {
        console.log(e);
    }
};

sendWelcomeEmail(email, name);

Hello everyone,

@izznogooood,

Please see this documentation on how to capture the error message.

@The-Caesar,

Could you either provide a full code sample or the value of the msg you pass to .send?

@Full-Stack-Zach,

Could you please provide some code that I can use to try and reproduce your issue?

FWIW, here is what works for me using @sendgrid/mail@6.4.0:

const sgMail = require('@sendgrid/mail');
sgMail.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
const msg = {
  to: 'ethomas@twilio.com',
  from: 'dx@sendgrid.com',
  subject: 'Hello world',
  text: 'Hello plain world!'
};

sgMail
  .send(msg)
  .then(() => {
    //Celebrate
    console.log('Email Sent!');
  })
  .catch(error => {

    //Log friendly error
    console.error(error.toString());

    //Extract error msg
    const {message, code, response} = error;

    //Extract response msg
    const {headers, body} = response;
  });

I hope this is helpful.

With Best Regards,

Elmer

@thinkingserious

Node version 10.15.2

console.log(e.response.body);

// message
{ errors:
   [ { message:
        'The content value must be a string at least one character in length.',
       field: 'content.1.value',
       help:
        'http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API_v3/Mail/errors.html#message.content.value' } ] }

So in my case it was as simple as adding a space in my html string (or remove it)... But I dont belive I've done that before. But thank you.

@Full-Stack-Zach I assumed you'd call the function, that was my bad. Sorry about that.

[The-Caesar]

here an object from the array emailsData: emailsData[0].txt

[thinkingserious]

Hello @The-Caesar,

One think I noticed is that you don't have a text value. Can you try adding a text value? Also, what is the value of the emails variable?

Thanks!

With Best Regards,

Elmer
