my_instance = "<A random object in the application>"
notification = Notification.objects.create(
    subject="My beautiful email",
    text_body="My text body",
    html_body="""<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

</head>
<body>My HTML body</body>
</html>
    """,
    from_email="foo@example.org",  # Optional

)

# **Recipients management**
# You can provide users
notification.recipients.set("<User instance>", "<User instance>", ...)
notification.save()

# And / Or provides email address, `\n` separated
