      default :from => '[email protected]',
              :subject => 'An email sent via SendGridSmtpApi'

      def email_with_multiple_recipients
        mail :to => %w([email protected] [email protected])
      end
    end

=== Adding substitution vars

    class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
      default :from => '[email protected]',
              :subject => 'An email sent via SendGridSmtpApi with substitutions'

      def email_with_substitutions

      end
    end

=== Adding category

    Mailer class definition:

        class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
          default :from => '[email protected]',
                  :subject => 'An email sent via SendGridSmtpApi with substitutions'

          def email_with_category

== Apps (formerly called Filters)

Apps can be applied to any of your email messages and can be configured through SendGridSmtpApi gem.

=== Open Tracking

Add an invisible image at the end of the email to track e-mail opens. If the email recipient has images enabled on the email client, a request to server for the invisible image is executed and an open is logged.

    class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
      default :from => '[email protected]',
              :subject => 'An email sent via SendGridSmtpApi'

      def email_with_open_tracking_enabled
        open_tracking true
        mail :to => '[email protected]'
      end
    end


=== Use Standard SMTP

if you want to customize the header for sendgrids api but you need keep standard SMTP see below:

    class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
      default :from => '[email protected]',
              :subject => 'An email sent via SendGridSmtpApi'

      def email_standard_smtp
        standard_smtp true
        open_tracking true
        mail :to => '[email protected]'
      end
    end
