I am very new to strapi. Basically I’ve set up a post request to strapi for create an order. Once the order is placed, this will trigger sendgrid to send a confirmation email to the customer. The post request is successful, using email plugin test on the strapi UI successful. Not sure what is wrong here. Hope to get some advice from the community! Thanks!

 email: {
    config: {
      provider: "sendgrid", // For community providers pass the full package name (e.g. provider: 'strapi-provider-email-mandrill')
      providerOptions: {
        apiKey: env("SENDGRID_API_KEY"),
      },
      settings: {
        defaultFrom: "xxxx@hotmail.com",
        defaultReplyTo: "xxxx@hotmail.com",
      },
    },
  },
```config/server.js
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({

  host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),

  port: env.int('PORT', 1337),

  app: {

    keys: env.array("APP_KEYS"),

  },
