Quick Start

Hello Email

The following is the minimum needed code to send an email with the /mail/send Helper (here is a full example):

Using Autogenerated Code

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go/v4"
	MailV3 "github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go/v4/rest/api/v3/mail"
	"net/http"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	client := sendgrid.NewRestClientWithParams(sendgrid.ClientParams{
		ApiKey: os.Getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"),
	})
	name := "John Doe"
	subject := "Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun"
	mailTo := &MailV3.MailTo{Email: "test@example.com"}
	to := []MailV3.MailTo{*mailTo}
	sendMailRequest := MailV3.SendMailRequest{
		From:             MailV3.MailFrom{Name: &name, Email: VERIFIED_EMAIL},
		ReplyTo:          mailTo,
		Subject:          &subject,
		Personalizations: []MailV3.SendMailRequestPersonalizationsInner{{To: to}},
		Content:          &[]MailV3.SendMailRequestContentInner{{Type: "text/plain", Value: "Abc"}},
	}
	sendMailParam := &MailV3.SendMailParam{SendMailRequest: &sendMailRequest}
	resp, err := client.MailV3.SendMail(sendMailParam)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error sending mail: " + err.Error())
	} else {
		response, _ := json.Marshal(resp)
		var ps http.Response
		json.Unmarshal(response, &ps)
		fmt.Println(ps.StatusCode)
		fmt.Println(ps.Body)
		fmt.Println(ps.Header)
	}
}

With Mail Helper Class

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"os"

	"github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go"
	"github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go/helpers/mail"
)

func main() {
	from := mail.NewEmail("Example User", "test@example.com")
	subject := "Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun"
	to := mail.NewEmail("Example User", "test@example.com")
	plainTextContent := "and easy to do anywhere, even with Go"
	htmlContent := "<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with Go</strong>"
	message := mail.NewSingleEmail(from, subject, to, plainTextContent, htmlContent)
	client := sendgrid.NewSendClient(os.Getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"))
	response, err := client.Send(message)
	if err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
	} else {
		fmt.Println(response.StatusCode)
		fmt.Println(response.Body)
		fmt.Println(response.Headers)
	}
}

The NewEmail constructor creates a personalization object for you. Here is an example of how to add to it.

Without Mail Helper Class

The following is the minimum needed code to send an email without the /mail/send Helper (here is a full example):

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go"
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	request := sendgrid.GetRequest(os.Getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"), "/v3/mail/send", "https://api.sendgrid.com")
	request.Method = "POST"
	request.Body = []byte(` {
	"personalizations": [
		{
			"to": [
				{
					"email": "test@example.com"
				}
			],
			"subject": "Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun"
		}
	],
	"from": {
		"email": "test@example.com"
	},
	"content": [
		{
			"type": "text/plain",
			"value": "and easy to do anywhere, even with Go"
		}
	]
}`)
	response, err := sendgrid.API(request)
	if err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
	} else {
		fmt.Println(response.StatusCode)
		fmt.Println(response.Body)
		fmt.Println(response.Headers)
	}
}

General v3 Web API Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go"
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	request := sendgrid.GetRequest(os.Getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"), "/v3/api_keys", "https://api.sendgrid.com")
	request.Method = "GET"

	response, err := sendgrid.API(request)
	if err != nil {
		log.Println(err)
	} else {
		fmt.Println(response.StatusCode)
		fmt.Println(response.Body)
		fmt.Println(response.Headers)
	}
}
