Hello everyone! Please help me understand some thing…  
  
I have EmailSubscriber class with method

Code:

 static public function getSubscribedEvents() { return [EmailEvents::EMAIL\_ON\_SEND =\> array('onEmailGenerate', 0), EmailEvents::EMAIL\_ON\_DISPLAY =\> array('onEmailGenerate', 0)]; }

Method 'onEmailGenerate' successfully subscribed these actions so I can do simple manipulations with email content  
for example =

Code:

$content = str\_replace('{find}', 'replacement', $content);

But I really need to insert into email some info of lead (or contact) which email is sent to. Please help to get this info

Code:

/\*\* \* @param EmailSendEvent $event \*/ public function onEmailGenerate(EmailSendEvent $event) { // Get content $content = $event-\>getContent();

```
    if(strpos($content, '{someleaddata_list}') !== false)
    {

        $leadData = $event->getLead(); // this method returns null even email was sent to real lead email..</div>

```

Thank you!
