djrill 2.0

Mandrill transactional email for Django

Djrill integrates the Mandrill transactional email service into Django.

UPGRADING FROM DJRILL 1.x? There are some breaking changes in Djrill 2.0. Please see the upgrade instructions.

In general, Djrill “just works” with Django’s built-in django.core.mail package. It includes:

• Support for HTML, attachments, extra headers, and other features of Django’s built-in email

• Mandrill-specific extensions like tags, metadata, tracking, and MailChimp templates

• Optional support for Mandrill inbound email and other webhook notifications, via Django signals

Djrill is released under the BSD license. It is tested against Django 1.4–1.9 (including Python 3 with Django 1.6+, and PyPy support with Django 1.5+). Djrill uses semantic versioning.

Djrill 1-2-3

1. Install Djrill from PyPI:

   $ pip install djrill

2. Edit your project’s settings.py:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       "djrill"
   )
   
   MANDRILL_API_KEY = "<your Mandrill key>"
   EMAIL_BACKEND = "djrill.mail.backends.djrill.DjrillBackend"
   DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "[e-mail]"  # if you don't already have this in settings

3. Now the regular Django email functions will send through Mandrill:

   from django.core.mail import send_mail
   
   send_mail("It works!", "This will get sent through Mandrill",
       "Djrill Sender <[e-mail]>", ["[e-mail]"])

   You could send an HTML message, complete with custom Mandrill tags and metadata:

   from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
   
   msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(
       subject="Djrill Message",
       body="This is the text email body",
       from_email="Djrill Sender <[e-mail]>",
       to=["Recipient One <[e-mail]>", "[e-mail]"],
       headers={'Reply-To': "Service <[e-mail]>"} # optional extra headers
   )
   msg.attach_alternative("<p>This is the HTML email body</p>", "text/html")
   
   # Optional Mandrill-specific extensions:
   msg.tags = ["one tag", "two tag", "red tag", "blue tag"]
   msg.metadata = {'user_id': "8675309"}
   
   # Send it:
   msg.send()
