Stores and sends canned email responses.
Project description
Stores and sends canned email responses.
Ever had to change the signature or add a recipient to N hardcoded emails spread all throughout your code? Hardcode no more! Use mailrobot instead.
Depends on Django, with a version between 1.8 and 1.10, inclusive.
Installation
Install the library, for instance with pip:
pip install django-mailrobot
Add the library to your INSTALLED_APPS of an exiting project:
INSTALLED_APPS += ['mailrobot']
Add the tables to the existing project.
Prior to django 1.7:
$ ./manage.py syncdb
With South:
$ ./manage.py schemamigration --initial mailrobot $ ./manage.py migrate mailrobot
Demo
Copy the entire django-mailrobot directory somewhere, set up and enter a virtualenv, then provided you are on some Un*x:
make demo
This’ll ask you to make an admin user. Do so.
The demo should now be running on http://127.0.0.1/
Tests
To run the tests, first install the testing-requirements:
pip install -r requirements/test.txt
then run the tests with:
make test APP=mailrobot
Usage
Add mails and addresses through the django admin.
In code
Fetch a mail-template:
template = Mail.objects.get(name='hello-world').
Fill it:
mail = template.make_message(
sender='Yep <overridden-from@example.com'>,
recipients=('extra1@example.com', u'Blåbærsyltetøy <extra2@example.com>'),
context={'world': 'Mailrobot'}
)
Have a look:
print mail.message
Send it:
mail.send()
Niceties
In case you need to send an email somewhere else for testing/debugging, clone an existing email in the admin:
Select it
Choose “Clone selected mails” in the action list
Hit “Go”
The clone will share everything with its original except the name, which will be suffixed with a timestamp.
Edit the name of the clone to what you need, change recipients, CCs, BCCs. Then, where you send the mail from, choose the clone if settings.DEBUG is True.

0.5.0
