Twilio Verify: Email - Dynamic Template Data

[roughpandaz]

Issue Summary

Verify sending email using SendGrid not working.
I am following this tutorial: https://www.twilio.com/docs/verify/email#send-an-email-verification
I am able to send emails through the Twilio Verify API using Dynamic Templates from Send Grid.

To customize the email, I tried substitution tags. However, it did not work.
I followed the following issue: sendgrid/sendgrid-nodejs#676

However, I am still unable to get emails to send with personalized messages.

Code Snippet

Server Code

client.verify
    .services(SERVICE_ID)
    .verifications.create({
      channelConfigurations: {
       // I tried: dynamicTemplateData and substitutions - none work
        dynamic_template_data: {
          name: "firstName",
          verification_url: "verificationURL"
        }
      },
      to: opt.email,
      channel: "email"
    })
    .then(verification => {
      console.log("verification", verification.sid);
      return verification;
    })
    .catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
      throw err;
    });

Hi @RongxinZhang
It looks like you are trying to call channelConfigurations instead you need to be calling channelConfiguration. The examples linked in the tutorial page are correct. You should be able to use substitutions to replace the the name and verification url.

client.verify.services('VAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
             .verifications
             .create({channelConfiguration: {
				//substitutions is the correct reference here
                substitutions: {
                  name: "firstName",
                  verification_url: "verificationURL"
                }
              }, to: 'recipient@foo.com', channel: 'email'})
             .then(verification => console.log(verification.sid));
