Re: SChedule email

You can check out celery and how to integrate it with django. Once done, task scheduling is easy,first add your gmail configuration in settings.py as follows:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_smtp_ssl.SSLEmailBackend' 

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True 

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' 

EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'your_email' 

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your password' 

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER EMAIL_PORT = 465

Then in your tasks.py you can add the function for scheduling emails as follows:

from django.template.loader import render_to_string 

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage

@periodic_task

( run_every=(crontab(hour=3, minute=34)), #runs exactly at 3:34am every day 

name="Dispatch_scheduled_mail",

 reject_on_worker_lost=True, ignore_result=True) 

def schedule_mail(): 

 message = render_to_string('app/schedule_mail.html') 

 mail_subject = 'Scheduled Email' to_email = getmail email = EmailMessage(mail_subject, message, to=[to_email]) 

 email.send()

Then finally your email template 'schedule_mail.html

{% autoescape off %} 

Hello , 

 This is a test email if you are seeing this,

 your email got delivered! 

 Regards, Coding Team.

 {% endautoescape %}
