sending email in django
To send an email in Django, you can follow these steps:
Import the necessary modules:
python from django.core.mail import send_mail
Use the
send_mail
function to send the email:python send_mail( 'Subject here', 'Here is the message.', '[email protected]', ['[email protected]'], fail_silently=False, )
Customize the parameters as needed:
- 'Subject here': The subject of the email
- 'Here is the message.': The content of the email
- '[email protected]': The sender's email address
- ['[email protected]']: The recipient's email address (can be a list for multiple recipients)
fail_silently: Set to False to raise an exception if the email sending fails
Configure email settings in settings.py:
python EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'your_email_host' EMAIL_PORT = 'your_email_port' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'your_email_host_user' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your_email_host_password' EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
Replace 'your_email_host', 'your_email_port', 'your_email_host_user', and 'your_email_host_password' with your email server details.
Ensure that your email server allows access from less secure apps or generates an app-specific password.
Once the settings are configured, you can use the
send_mail
function to send emails from your Django application.
