Python SendGrid Unsubscribe Groups and Dynamic Templates

I initially had a hard time finding documentation that clearly explained how to add the unsubscribe links to your emails, and how to use dynamic templates and populate dynamic fields with the python SendGrid API.

It is quite possible that I was totally missing something obvious, and I’d love to hear in the comments if you know of an easier/more correct way of doing it — this is just my perspective and it seems to work for my simple use case.

I created a git repository with a few very basic examples. Let me know if there are any other examples I should add, or if you’d like the same examples for a different language.

2. Next, you’ll need to copy the ID for that group and use it in your code.

3. Implement a function that uses that group ID (and any other groups you want to add).

That’s it! you should be seeing the unsubscribe links in the footer of your email now.

Dynamic templates are awesome since you can use SendGrid’s visual designer to make a professional looking email, and add variables/fields that you can replace dynamically at send-time in code.

The steps are as follows:

2. Then create your design and add any dynamic fields/variables in the body.

3. Once you have your design, you’ll want to copy the template ID to use in your code.

Here is a very simple code example of how to send an email with that template.

Although I didn’t go into much detail at all, hopefully the code examples were enough to help someone that is stuck like I was and can’t find simple examples like these to get going. Please let me know in the comments if you spot any mistakes or if you have any suggestions for improving the post. Don’t forget to checkout the git repository for all the complete examples.

Cheers!
