Installation

Install the backend from PyPI:

Add the following to your project’s settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = "sgbackend.SendGridBackend"
SENDGRID_API_KEY = "Your SendGrid API Key"

Done!

Example

from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives

# Send a simple message
send_mail('Hello there!', 'Emails are the future!',
  'Jay Hale <jay@jtst.io>', ['hello@sink.sendgrid.net'])

# Send a more complex message
mail = EmailMultiAlternatives(
  subject='Hello there again!',
  body='Who knew you could do so many things with email?!?',
  from_email='Jay Hale <jay@jtst.io>',
  to=['hello@sink.sendgrid.net'],
)
mail.reply_to = 'No Reply <no-reply@sink.sendgrid.net>'
mail.template_id = 'marketing_template_5'
mail.substitutions = {'%organization%': 'jtstio'}
with open('flyer.pdf', 'rb') as file:
    mail.attachments = [
        ('flyer.pdf', file.read(), 'application/pdf')
    ]
mail.attach_alternative(
    "<p>Who knew you could do <strong>so many things</strong> with email?!?</p>",
    "text/html"
)
mail.send()
