Send Email With the Django Package

The quickest way to add reliable email to any Django app—just install, plug in, and go.

Need to send email from your Django app, but tired of fiddling with SMTP and servers? Just install our PyPI package and use Django’s built-in email system—no new learning curve:

Just pip install and configure.
The django-notifiedby package plugs right into your project in seconds.
No SMTP setup required.
All you need is your API key—never mess with SMTP, ports, or hosting issues.
Use Django’s native send_mail.
Send emails with all the tools you already know. Works with all standard Django email code!
See every sent message in the dashboard.
Get full delivery and open status for every email—straight from your existing Django app.

How it works

Install the package:

pip install django-notifiedby
Add NotifiedBy to INSTALLED_APPS and configure backend + API key:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ... your other apps ...
'notifiedby',
]
EMAIL_BACKEND = "notifiedby.NotifiedByEmailBackend" NOTIFIEDBY_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
Send an email:

from django.core.mail import send_mail

send_mail(
    "This is the subject!",
    "Plain text fallback",
    "from@ignored.com",
    ["user@example.com"],
    html_message="<h1>Hello!</h1>"
)

That’s it. No SMTP, no DNS records, no scary vendor docs—works with all default Django email features.
