How do I send a SendGrid dynamic template email?

Short answer: You can send template email in SendGrid by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the SendGrid Send Template Email action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
