Description

Reusable application for Django introducing a message delivery framework.

Schedule and send messages with several easy steps, using concepts of:

• Messengers - clients for various protocols (smtp, jabber, twitter, telegram, etc.);

• Message Types - message classes exposing message composition logic (plain text, html, etc.).

1. Configure messengers for your project (create sitemessages.py in one of your apps):

from sitemessage.toolbox import register_messenger_objects, register_builtin_message_types
from sitemessage.messengers.smtp import SMTPMessenger

register_messenger_objects(
    # Here we register only one messenger to deliver emails.
    SMTPMessenger('[e-mail]', 'user1', 'user1password', host='smtp.host.com', use_tls=True)
)

# And register built-in message types we'd use (for Django < 1.7).
register_builtin_message_types()

2. Schedule messages for delivery when and where needed (e.g. in a view):

from sitemessage.shortcuts import schedule_email

def send_mail_view(request):
    ...

    # Suppose `user_model` is a recipient Django User model instance.
    user1_model = ...

    # We pass `request.user` into `sender` to keep track of senders.
    schedule_email('Message from sitemessage.', [user1_model, '[e-mail]'], sender=request.user)

    ...

3. Periodically run Django management command from wherever you like (cli, cron, Celery, etc.):

   ./manage.py sitemessage_send_scheduled

And that’s only the tip of sitemessage iceberg, read the docs %)
