I am trying to figure out why incoming emails have paragraphs stripped in my Ruby on Rails app with Griddler and SendGrid. To do that I'd like to mock an inbound email using Postman.

SendGrid have an example 'Default Payload' which looks like this:

[Date] array(16) {
  ["headers"]=>

My problem is I don't really understand how to put this format into Postman as Postman has no way to specify a raw payload like this. Alternatively, could I use curl to achieve something similar?

Did you have any luck figuring this out yet?Corbie

I wanted to test a azure function app locally and managed to mock a request

  1. create a request bin at https://requestbin.com
  2. On sendgrid inbound api page, add a host/url to redirect to the created request bin
  3. send a test mail to the test email adress
  4. Go back to the request bin page, copy everything you see under "RAW BODY".
  5. Paste the raw body in the Postman request body enter image description here
  6. To get it to work, I also copied some of the headers to Postman, mainly the "Content-type" = "multipart/form-data; boundary=xYzZY" enter image description here
