Send email messages to new users.
Project description
django-welcome
==============
Provide great customer service to your new users by sending them personal welcome messages after they sign up.
Quick start
------------
0. Install django-welcome
```python
pip install django-welcome
```
1. Add "welcome" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'welcome',
)
```
3. Define WELCOME_FROM_EMAIL in your local settings:
```python
WELCOME_FROM_EMAIL = 'Your Name <yourname@project.tld>'
```
4. Create templates for your emails. These live in **TEMPLATE_DIR**/email/welcome_subject.html and **TEMPLATE_DIR**/email/welcome_body.html. These have access to a User object titled _user_ if you want to get their full name or other parts of their profile. Remember to include important information for your users! Include a personal message, perhaps a link to a feedback survey, and your personal contact information (Email/Twitter/Phone number) so that customers can call you up directly.
5. Execute it with manage.py. _since_ defines the number of minutes since sign up to send to recent users, default 60.
```bash
./manage.py welcome --since 60
```
6. Define a cron job to do it automatically!
Options
---------
```bash
Usage: manage.py welcome [options]
Find users who have signed up within the past X minutes (default 60) and email them.
Define your email templates in **TEMPALTE_DIR**/email/welcome_subject.html and **TEMPALTE_DIR**/email/welcome_body.html
You must also define your WELCOME_FROM_EMAIL in your settings file.
EXAMPLE:
./manage.py welcome --since 60
Options:
--since=SINCE Minutes since sign-up. Default 60.
--test Test run (emails oldest user in stead). Default False.
--dry Dry run, does not actually send emails. Default False.
--quiet Quiet emails being sent. Default False.
-h, --help show this help message and exit
```
