I am having trouble adding an additional substitution for sending emails with Sendgrid C#. https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-csharp/ For example how can I add one more substitution for -name- ? How can I do this? Thank you for your help.

Here is my code that is working fine for one substitution (email).

            var emails = group.ToList();
            List<string> subjects = new List<string>();
            var substitutions = new List<Dictionary<string, string>>();
            for (int i = 0; i < tos.Count; i++)
            {
                subjects.Add(subject);
                substitutions.Add(new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "-email-", tos[i].Email } });
            }
            string plainTextContent = null;
            string htmlContent = body;

            var msg2 = MailHelper.CreateMultipleEmailsToMultipleRecipients(from,
                                                          emails,
                                                          subjects,
                                                          plainTextContent,
                                                          htmlContent,
                                                          substitutions
                                                          );

An example of dynamic transactional email templates of sendgrid C# API v3.0.

        var client = new SendGridClient(apiKey);
        var msg = new SendGridMessage();
        msg.SetFrom(new EmailAddress("[email protected]", "Example User"));
        msg.AddTo(new EmailAddress("[email protected]", "Example User"));
        msg.SetTemplateId("d-d42b0eea09964d1ab957c18986c01828");

        var dynamicTemplateData = new ExampleTemplateData
        {
            Subject = "Hi!",
            Name = "Example User"
        };

        msg.SetTemplateData(dynamicTemplateData);
        var response = await client.SendEmailAsync(msg);

    private class ExampleTemplateData
    {
        [JsonProperty("subject")]
        public string Subject { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("name")]
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

Template body:

<html>
<head>
    <title>{{subject}}</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello {{name}},
<br/><br/>
I'm glad you are trying out the dynamic template feature!
<br/><br/>
Enjoy it
<br/><br/>
</body>
</html>
