I already configured Jenkins to send emails using Sendgrid, it's work fine. But I have some Dynamic Templates on Sendgrid and I want to know, there is anyway to send this e-mails using this templetes?
Twilio SendGrid developer evangelist here.
From what I can tell, the most popular Jenkins extensions that send emails do so over SMTP. SendGrid does not support sending Dynamic Templates over SMTP. To send Dynamic Templates with SendGrid you need to use the SendGrid Mail API.
So, to send emails with templates from Jenkins you could find or create an extension that sends emails using the SendGrid API.

I'm using the v3 API to send confirmation emails to my new users. All of the emails appear to be sending BUT over half of the emails don't contain the dynamically-inserted confirmation URL that I send along in the request.
I'm not sure where to start debugging this: if ~50% of the emails are getting the links within their emails and the rest aren't, where would you start with digging into this problem?
Its my first time playing around with sending emails in an application. I'm using an instance on the google cloud platform and found out that they block sending emails form port 465. They have an work around solution which is using a third part to send the emails. I decided to go with sendgrid. But there are a few different options for setting it up and I'm not sure which is the one I'm supposed to use for CGP to allow me to send emails using SSL.
I followed this tutorial by sendgrid but I still have the instance blocking port 465. Am I supposed to do it a different way? If so what am I supposed to do?
To send email via SendGrid from gcp, you need to use port 2525.

Can Sendgrid generate [weblink] and auto 'View in Browser' for ActionMailer e-mails likewise he does with Marketing Emails?
I'm using sendgrid free plan in heroku in a Rails application.
No, the View In Browser function is only available for messages sent through the Marketing Email Service, since those are the only messages kept on the SendGrid server.
I am new to mailing with webapps. I looked around and found Sendgrid and Mailchimp. I can see that sendgrid's developer section has a simple smtp url that i should be able to use simply. However i don't find any such thing on Mailchimp. I am wondering how I can use mailchimp to send notifications like User registration or confirmation notification (not necessarily large number of emails blasted altogether but individual notification emails). Right now my application is set to use sendmail in rails.
Can anyone give me clues as to how I can use Mailchimp as the service for sending notification like emails and not mass emails. So far it seems like mailchimp may be more for just mass emails, is that correct?
Thanks
Sendgrid is a simple SMTP provider and relay. Mailchimp is more designed for email marketing using their toolchain. I would reccomend that you stick with sendgrid for simple notification messages but use Mailchimp for email campaigns and complex notifications.
So yes you initial guess is correct that it the two services are to be used for different things. However if you really want to use Mailchimp for email notificatons I would be more than happy to dig up some information for you.
Background: I've a rails app that sends out transactional and notification emails. 1/20 emails needs to have an attachment.
I'm using postfix, and just setup Amazon Simple Email Service to handle outgoing email.
My understanding is that Amazon SES doesn't currently support sending emails with attachments.
In postfix SES is currently setup as default_transport. Ideally, I'd like to configure it to send out using SES for emails without attachments, and send email without SES for emails with attachments (since SES will reject them anyway).
Is this possible?
If postfix doesn't support this kind of setup, how would I get my rails app to send out emails without attachments using SES and other email without it?
Amazon SES now supports attachments.
This question was asked nearly a month ago, did you find a solution to your problem?
I think it would be difficult to configure Postfix as you say, I'd suggest two alternatives:
configure Postfix to deliver the emails normally, in this case you'll be able to send attachments. (You'd not use SES at all).
leave your Postfix configuration as is, and instead of using attachments you can upload the file somewhere (maybe on S3 since you're using AWS) and post the link in the email. (You'd use only SES).
