Django

To send email from a Django application with SendGrid, configure Django's built-in email settings to use SendGrid's SMTP relay. Django, a Python web framework, provides a built-in way to send email that works with SendGrid as the delivery service.

For more detail about sending email over SMTP with Django, see the Django email documentation.

First start by adding the following to settings.py:

1
SENDGRID_API_KEY = os.getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
2

3
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
4
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'apikey' # this is exactly the value 'apikey'
5
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = SENDGRID_API_KEY
6
EMAIL_PORT = 587
7
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

Then to send email you can do the following: Inside yourapp.views.py

1
from django.core.mail import send_mail
2
send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'from@example.com', ['to@example.com'], fail_silently=False)

Customize the subject, message, sender email address, and recipients as needed for your use case.
