I'm having trouble with smtp email sending in django. I tried to get the email address using User model => get_email = User.objects.filter(is_admin=True).values_list('email') But when I pass it to recipient_list,it can't find the email address. Here is my views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render
from feedbacks.models import Feedback
from django.contrib import messages
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()
def feedback(request):
status = Feedback.objects.all()
get_email = User.objects.filter(is_admin=True).values_list('email')
print(get_email)
if request.method == 'POST':
name = request.POST["name"]
student_id = request.POST["student_id"]
adviser_init = request.POST["adviser_init"]
phone = request.POST["phone"]
email = request.POST["email"]
issues = request.POST["issues"]
obj = Feedback.objects.create(name=name, student_id=student_id,
adviser_init=adviser_init, phone=phone,
email=email, issues=issues)
obj.save()
try:
subject = 'Student Feedback'
message = "Mail from Student ID:" + student_id + "\nIssue:" + issues + ""
email_from = settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER
send_mail(subject, message, email_from, [get_email])
messages.success(request, 'Your issue has been sent to our admin. '
'Check feedback status for update. Thank You!')
except:
messages.error(request, 'Feedback Saved but not send to admin.')
context = {
'status': status
}
return render(request, 'feedback/feedback.html', context)
Recipient list has to be a list object not a Queryset or any other array like object i believe. So add the following modification to your get_mail variable:
mail_qs = User.objects.filter(is_admin=True).values_list('email', flat=True)
get_mail = list(mail_qs)
Should work if the queryset isn't empty.
