Email template not rendering model data

See original GitHub issue

This may be me missing something really obvious, but I am not able to replace the @Model.Strings components in my email template properly. I am using the latest version of .NET Core on a new project.

Here is my controller code starting the email send off.

            Email.DefaultRenderer = new RazorRenderer();
            Email.DefaultSender = new SendGridSender("KEY");
            var email = Email
                .From("do-not-reply@company.io", "Company")
                .To(model.Email)
                .Subject("You have been invited to join " + company.Name + "!")
                .UsingTemplateFromFile($"{Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()}/Views/Emails/StandardEmail.cshtml", new {
                    CallbackUrl = callbackUrl,
                    ButtonText = buttonText,
                    Footer = footer,
                    Body = body,
                    Header = header
                });
            await email.SendAsync();

Then my email file has several @Model.Footer and based on what is seen above. I am not using any other special code in the email file besides the HTML.

The email properly sends as expected, but I receive the email with the @Model.Footer text being shown, instead of the data being passed in the model above.

Please ensure you adding this line of code

// Using Razor templating package Email.DefaultRenderer = new RazorRenderer();

At your start up. This should work

I’m having the same problem.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /> <title>WelcomeEmail</title> </head> <body> <div>

Listee

<dl class="dl-horizontal"> <dt> FirstName </dt> <dd> @Model.FirstName </dd> <dt> LastName </dt> <dd> @Model.LastName </dd> <dt> EmailAddress </dt> <dd> @Model.EmailAddress </dd> </dl> </div> </body> </html>
