Sendgrid | Display sender name with email in “from” field

If we want that when we send email to our users using sendgrid api then the name of the sender (if we provide) should appear along with sender-email then follow the process given below :

To accomplish this, we just need to pass an extra parameter “fromname” to the curl post request as follow:

$params = array(
    'api_user' => $user,
    'api_key' => $pass,
    //'x-smtpapi' => json_encode($json_string),								'to'        => $to,
    'from' => ‘manjukk @mailcheck.com’,
    'fromname' => ‘Super Admin’,
    'subject' => $subject,
    'html' => $body,
);

// Generate curl request
$session = curl_init(‘your sendgrid api url’);

// Tell curl to use HTTP POST
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POST, true);


// Tell curl that this is the body of the POST
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);

// obtain response
$response = curl_exec($session);

If we are using sendgrid’s libraries to send emails, then we can use following php syntax to set fromname:

$sendgrid = new SendGrid($username, $password);

$email = new SendGrid\ Email();
$email
    -
    > setFrom(‘manjukk @mailcheck.com’) -
    > setFromName(‘Super Admin’) -
    > setSmtpapiTos($recipients) -
    > setSubject('%subject%') -
    > setSubstitutions(array(
        '%subject%' => $subjects,
        '%body%' => $bodyContents
    )) -
    > setHtml('%body%');

$mailStatus = $sendgrid - > send($email);

Result : After using our own text in the fromname, this text will be shown to the recipient as the name of sender as shown in the following screenshot :
