How to send html email with django with dynamic content in it?

Question

Hi all,

Can anyone please help me sending html email with dynamic contents. One way is to copy the entire html code into a variable and populate the dynamic code within it in Django views, but that does not seem to be a good idea, as its a very large html file.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

This should do what you want:

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
from django.template import Context
from django.template.loader import get_template


template = get_template('myapp/email.html')
context = Context({'user': user, 'other_info': info})
content = template.render(context)
if not user.email:
    raise BadHeaderError('No email address given for {0}'.format(user))
msg = EmailMessage(subject, content, from, to=[user.email,])
msg.send()

See the django mail docs for more.
