 <h2>Email Service</h2>
-In api/email, the emailHelper.js file contains the following functions: sendEmail and addToList. SendEmail sends an API request to SendGrid to send a templated email to the to email address its given. The other function: addToList adds the email and name to a specified SendGrid contact list (they're added to all no matter what, then also to the specified list id). Any function that wants to use sendEmail and addToList will need to import it into their file (see profileRouter.js). Parameters can be passed into it, like the toEmail, name, template_id or list_ids (which is an array so it could have more than 1 list_ids there). The parameters to use are created in the file that's calling the sendEmail function.

 SendGrid's npm package info and how to set up the API key (also listed below): https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sendgrid/mail. The npm package is @sendgrid/mail. Very lightweight, highly supported, and heavily downloaded. (SendGrid also supports Java)
