Answer 1

You can give a custom name and specify the name of the property in json with an attribute:

public class SendGridWebhookRequest
{
    public string email { get; set; }
    public int timestamp { get; set; }
    public string smtp_id { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty("event")]
    public string MyEvent {get;set;}
}

Answer 2

public string @event {get;set;}
