How to add the attachment file while sending the mail in SendGrid using powershell

How to add the attachment file while sending the mail in SendGrid using powershell

You can add a parameter "-Attachments" to the Send-MailMessage cmdlet and specify a comma separated list of file names.

Sending passwords over the script is not secure, instead, use API Keys provided by SendGrid to send emails with or without attachments

Using API Keys with PowerShell, for sending attachments is the tricky part. SendGrid documentation too does have much on this. Can any one help here.

You can store the API Keys in KeyVault and retrieve the same from it.

$SENDGRID_API_KEY = (Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $VaultName -Name $ApiKeyName).SecretValueText
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + $SENDGRID_API_KEY)
$headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")

create a body json which has mail body content which has from and destination mail address details, subject and bodyContent of Mail
finally, call the below method.

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body $bodyJson
