parseTokens error with complex data when using send-grid-protocol with cbmailservices

[robertz]

Description

SendGrid allows you to use handlebars to render data when using dynamic templates (email type "template"). If you try to send complex (nested data) it will cause an error when parsing tokens:

As an example, here are a set of bodyTokens for a SendGrid dynamic template:

{
  "contact_name": "Smith, John Alfred",
  "account_name": "Awesome Company.",
  "parts": [
    {
      "end_use": "Mil/Aero",
      "quantity": 5,
      "sku": "1013",
      "end_user": "Awesome Company",
      "item_type": "EVB",
      "status_type": "Start"
    }
  ],
  "subject": "A new request has been created for Awesome Company",
  "priority_type": "High"
}

Issues

If you attempt to pass complex data you will receive an error that "complex object types cannot be converted to simple values." Since tokens are handled at send grid, skip processing if the email type is "template" and just send the values across as-is. In this case the body value will just be a templateID, there is no need for token replacement.
