SendGrid API Dynamic - can't get Unsubscribe to work

I just set-up a dynamic email with sendgrid and am using the API to fill it out based on my customer data.

I've gotten everything to work except the unsubscribe part.

I have an unsubscribe block at the bottom of my email. In the code editor, the code looks like this:

<div data-role="module-unsubscribe" class="module" role="module" data-type="unsubscribe" style="color:#444444; font-size:12px; line-height:20px; padding:16px 16px 16px 16px; text-align:center;" data-muid="67cd14f7-ddbf-421a-a070-57b3b3e6ccac"><p style="font-size:12px; line-height:20px;"><a class="Unsubscribe--unsubscribeLink" href="{{unsubscribe}}" target="_blank" style="">Unsubscribe</a></p></div></td>

I didn't edit the code, that's just how it came. But when I send the email (test or otherwise), the unsubscribe is not a link. Do I need to pass something for {{unsubscribe}} in the API request? If so, what would I pass?

Thanks for your help!

When you send an email with unsubscribe links, you need to include the unsubscribe group in the API request.

For example:

client
  .send({
    to: "[email protected]",
    from: "[email protected]",
    templateId: "YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID",
    dynamicTemplateData: { ... },
    asm: {
      groupId: "YOUR_UNSUBSCRIBE_GROUP_ID"
    }
  })

Make sure the asm key is in the root object, not in personalizations.
