        var client = new SendGridClient(apiKey);
        var from = new EmailAddress(Configuration["Email"], Configuration["Name"]);
        var to = new EmailAddress(email);

        var plainTextContent = message;
        var htmlContent =message;
        var msg = MailHelper.CreateSingleEmail(from, to, subject, plainTextContent, htmlContent);
        var response = await client.SendEmailAsync(msg);

    }

Answer 1

I suspect that you have not registered a "from" email address. You will get a forbidden response when you try to send the email in their example, because the form address is not registered to their account. Assuming you've created a free account, log in and go to https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/sender_auth . In the middle of the page you'll see "Verify Single Sender". If you are just exploring things you can use your own email for this.

Answer 2

In my case, the API key was wrong and the response had status Forbidden.
