Send email with Django

Introduction

Here, we will explain how to send an email with Django. It can be used to create an inquiry form.

Default settings

First, write the mail-related settings in settings.py. The following is an example when using Gmail.

settings.py


EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD =Password for the app
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

Email subject and recipient settings

Here, in the inquiry form Define a function for sending mail in forms.py.

forms.py


from django import forms
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.mail import BadHeaderError, EmailMessage
from django.http import HttpResponse


def send_email(self):
        subject = 'Contact Us:' + self.cleaned_data['title']
        name = self.cleaned_data['name']
        email = self.cleaned_data['email']
        from_email = '{name} <{email}>'.format(name=name, email=email)
        message = self.cleaned_data['body']
        recipient_list = [settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER]
        email_message = EmailMessage(subject, message, from_email, recipient_list, reply_to=[email])
        try:
            email_message.send()
        except BadHeaderError:
            return HttpResponse('An invalid header has been detected.')

ʻIf you do not set reply_to when creating an EmailMessage` instance, you will not be able to reply by email because you do not know the email address of the person who made the inquiry, so be sure to enter it.

Summary

Here, I explained the settings required when sending an email with Django. It can be applied to other than the inquiry form.
