Anymail: Django email integration for transactional ESPs
.. This README is reused in multiple places: * Github: project page, exactly as it appears here * Docs: shared-intro section gets included in docs/index.rst quickstart section gets included in docs/quickstart.rst * PyPI: project page (via setup.py long_description), with several edits to freeze it to the specific PyPI release (see long_description_from_readme in setup.py) You can use docutils 1.0 markup, but not any Sphinx additions. GitHub rst supports code-block, but no other block directives.

Anymail integrates several transactional email service providers (ESPs) into Django, with a consistent API that lets you use ESP-added features without locking your code to a particular ESP.
It currently fully supports Amazon SES, Mailgun, Mailjet, Postmark, SendinBlue, SendGrid, and SparkPost, and has limited support for Mandrill.
Anymail normalizes ESP functionality so it "just works" with Django's
built-in django.core.mail
package. It includes:
- Support for HTML, attachments, extra headers, and other features of
Django's built-in email <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/email/>
_ - Extensions that make it easy to use extra ESP functionality, like tags, metadata, and tracking, with code that's portable between ESPs
- Simplified inline images for HTML email
- Normalized sent-message status and tracking notification, by connecting your ESP's webhooks to Django signals
- "Batch transactional" sends using your ESP's merge and template features
- Inbound message support, to receive email through your ESP's webhooks, with simplified, portable access to attachments and other inbound content
Anymail maintains compatibility with all Django versions that are in mainstream
or extended support, plus (usually) a few older Django versions, and is extensively
tested on all Python versions supported by Django. (Even-older Django versions
may still be covered by an Anymail extended support release; consult the
changelog <https://anymail.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog/>
_ for details.)
Anymail releases follow semantic versioning <https://semver.org/>
_.
The package is released under the BSD license.

.. _quickstart:
.. This quickstart section is also included in docs/quickstart.rst
Here's how to send a message. This example uses Mailgun, but you can substitute Mailjet or Postmark or SendGrid or SparkPost or any other supported ESP where you see "mailgun":
-
Install Anymail from PyPI:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install "django-anymail[mailgun]"
(The
[mailgun]
part installs any additional packages needed for that ESP. Mailgun doesn't have any, but some other ESPs do.) -
Edit your project's
settings.py
:.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [ # ... "anymail", # ... ] ANYMAIL = { # (exact settings here depend on your ESP...) "MAILGUN_API_KEY": "<your Mailgun key>", "MAILGUN_SENDER_DOMAIN": 'mg.example.com', # your Mailgun domain, if needed } EMAIL_BACKEND = "anymail.backends.mailgun.EmailBackend" # or sendgrid.EmailBackend, or... DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "[email protected]" # if you don't already have this in settings SERVER_EMAIL = "[email protected]" # ditto (default from-email for Django errors)
-
Now the regular
Django email functions <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/email/>
_ will send through your chosen ESP:.. code-block:: python
from django.core.mail import send_mail send_mail("It works!", "This will get sent through Mailgun", "Anymail Sender <[email protected]>", ["[email protected]"])
You could send an HTML message, complete with an inline image, custom tags and metadata:
.. code-block:: python
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives from anymail.message import attach_inline_image_file msg = EmailMultiAlternatives( subject="Please activate your account", body="Click to activate your account: https://example.com/activate", from_email="Example <[email protected]>", to=["New User <[email protected]>", "[email protected]"], reply_to=["Helpdesk <[email protected]>"]) # Include an inline image in the html: logo_cid = attach_inline_image_file(msg, "/path/to/logo.jpg") html = """<img alt="Logo" src="cid:{logo_cid}"> <p>Please <a href="https://example.com/activate">activate</a> your account</p>""".format(logo_cid=logo_cid) msg.attach_alternative(html, "text/html") # Optional Anymail extensions: msg.metadata = {"user_id": "8675309", "experiment_variation": 1} msg.tags = ["activation", "onboarding"] msg.track_clicks = True # Send it: msg.send()
.. END quickstart
