Webhook SendGrid Examples

Prerequisites

• A SendGrid account
• A Dynamic Template that is configured to accept Turbonomic variables.
• Follow these instructions to setup a SendGrid account and configure a Dynamic Template.

Examples

For each example, the following details will be shared:

• Screenshot of example
• Variables used from Turbonomic's Action DTO
• User Variables you must supply
• Link to JSON Workflow DTO to add webhook to your Turbonomic instance
• Link to unescaped template JSON in case you want to modify the template to your liking prior to escaping.

Each example has been written for a specific Action. Please note the platform (On-Prem, Cloud, Container, etc), entity (VM, DB, Workload Controller, etc), and action (Move, Resize, etc) when implementing the webhooks. Webhooks may fail if implemented on the incorrect platform, entity, or action as certain Action DTO variables only exist for specific types of actions.
