Generate the Send Mail Token you will use to send emails.

Installation

Add the following installation data in the console.

Copiedpip install django-zoho-zeptomail

Settings configuration

Add the following parameters in the configuration settings - settings.py

Note:

The default FROM address will be used for all emails sent out from the application.
It is mandatory to mention the region where your application is hosted. It is optional for applications hosted in US.

CopiedEMAIL_BACKEND = 'zoho_zeptomail.backend.zeptomail_backend.ZohoZeptoMailEmailBackend'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'rebecca@zylker.com' 
ZOHO_ZEPTOMAIL_API_KEY_TOKEN = 'Send Mail Token' 
ZOHO_ZEPTOMAIL_HOSTED_REGION = 'zeptomail.zoho.com'

Email sending

There are two ways in which you can send emails using the ZeptoMail plugin. They are :

Plain text only emails
Plain text and HTML emails

Text only emails

Use the following code to send plain text emails using the send_mail function.

Copiedfrom django.core.mail import send_mail

send_mail(
    subject='Hello!',
    message='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    from_email='rebecca@zylker.com',
    recipient_list=['sam@zylker.com']
)

Use the following code to add multiple recipients - CC, BCC.

Copiedfrom django.core.mail.message import EmailMessage

email_message = EmailMessage(
    subject='Hello!',
    body='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    from_email='rebecca@zylker.com',
    to=['sam@zylker.com'],
    bcc=['john@zylker.com'], 
    cc=['george@zylker.com'], 
    reply_to=['samuel@zylker.com']
)
email_message.send()

Text and HTML emails

Use the following code to send text and HTML emails

Copiedfrom django.core.mail import send_mail

send_mail(
    subject='Hello!',
    message='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    from_email='rebecca@zylker.com',
    recipient_list=['sam@zylker.com'],
    html_message='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website'
)

To add other recipients - CC, BCC using the EmailMultiAlternatives class

Copiedfrom django.core.mail.message import EmailMultiAlternatives

email_message = EmailMultiAlternatives(
    subject='Hello!',
    body='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    from_email='rebecca@zylker.com',
    to=['sam@zylker.com'],
    bcc=['john@zylker.com'], # Optional
    cc=['george@zylker.com'], # Optional
    reply_to=['samuel@zylker.com'] # Optional
)
email_message.attach_alternative(
    'This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    'text/html'
)
email_message.send()

Using attachments

You can use attachments while sending emails. There are three methods to add attachments :

Using file path

Copiedfrom django.core.mail.message import EmailMessage

email_message = EmailMessage(
    subject='Hello!',
    body='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    from_email='rebecca@zylker.com',
    to=['sam@zylker.com']
)
email_message.attach_file('/example/attachment.txt')
email_message.attach_file('/example/attachment.jpg')
email_message.send()

Using filename and file content

Copiedfrom django.core.mail.message import EmailMessage

email_message = EmailMessage(
    subject='Hello!',
    body='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    from_email='rebecca@zylker.com',
    to=['sam@zylker.com']
)

# Text file (Read mode 'r')
with open('/example/attachment.txt', 'r') as file:
    email_message.attach('attachment.txt', file.read())

# Binary file (Read mode 'rb')
with open('/example/attachment.jpg', 'rb') as file:
    email_message.attach('attachment.jpg', file.read())

email_message.send()

Using the MIMEBase instance

Copiedfrom email.mime.image import MIMEImage
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from django.core.mail.message import EmailMessage

email_message = EmailMessage(
    subject='Hello!',
    body='This is an acknowledgement for your action on our website',
    from_email='rebecca@zylker.com',
    to=['sam@zylker.com']
)

# Text file (Read mode 'r')
with open('/example/attachment.txt', 'r') as file:
    mime_text = MIMEText(file.read())
    mime_text.add_header(
        'Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=attachment.txt')
    email_message.attach(mime_text)

# Binary file (Read mode 'rb')
with open('/example/attachment.jpg', 'rb') as file:
    mime_image = MIMEImage(file.read())
    mime_image.add_header(
        'Content-Disposition', 'inline; filename=attachment.jpg')
    email_message.attach(mime_image)

email_message.send()
