How to send templated emails?

Question

How does one send a templated Postmark message on ASP.NET? I'd imagine it would be done in this way:

TemplatedPostmarkMessage message = new TemplatedPostmarkMessage
{
    From = "demo@demo.com",
    To = "someone@else.com",
    TemplateId = 1738,
    TemplateModel = some_passed_in_model
};

The question now arises, what exactly is TemplateModel? From the API on Postmark's site, it seems like a JSON object, but in the definition from the DLL, it's as follows:

public object TemplateModel { get; set; }

I tried creating my own object with variable names that correspond to those on the Postmark template, however that does not work (it just sends a blank template). Postmark also does not have any documentation on how to use TemplatedPostmarkMessage in ASP.NET yet.

did you try an anonymous object? they are often used with json, eg `var foo = new { bar = "blah" } ` — monkeyhouse, Jan 13 '16 at 01:35
api is here : http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-api-templates.html hmm — monkeyhouse, Jan 13 '16 at 01:38
* also I think you might need to create a template prior to using it *? — monkeyhouse, Jan 13 '16 at 01:50

We send a dictionary of <string, object>, I believe you can use more complex models but a dictionary will get the job done.
