Cannot put customer data in sparkpost email

I'm attempting to create a Sparkpost email where the template generates to say the recipient's name like "Hello, David" for example. For reference I'm making a call from a web app that uses C#. The sparkpost website doesn't seem to have any information on doing things like this. Can someone give me some pointers please?

Solution

To do that you would put something like this in your template:

Hello, {{address.name}}

Then in your recipient's array do something like this

    "recipients": [
    {
      "address": {
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "name": "David"
      }
              :
              :
  ]

Here is an article I wrote a while back that may help:
