Tag: send

Down here I put the code, the code handles exceptions, but if you get that, throw the error ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘send_messages’

The view is this:

from django.core.mail import send_mail, BadHeaderError
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import ContactForm

def contactView(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ContactForm()
    else:
        form = ContactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            subject = form.cleaned_data('subject')
            from_email = form.cleaned_data('from_email')
            message = form.cleaned_data('message')
            try:
                send_mail(subject, message, from_email, ('accros_93@hotmail.com'))
            except BadHeaderError:
                return HttpResponse('Invalid header found.')
            return redirect('success')
    return render(request, "email.html", {'form': form})

def successView(request):
   return HttpResponse('Success! Thank you for your message.')

The html is:

<div class="container">
    <h1>Contactanos</h1>
    <form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <div class="form-actions">
            <button class="btn btn-secondary" type="submit">Enviar</button>
        </div>
    </form>
</div>

I’m going to put the settings, but I know that it works, because I also send emails to change the password of the users and that works perfectly. Sure, all managed by django. But when I want to send emails this way from my website, it doesn’t send anything. And as I said before, if I take the exceptions, throw the error of the title.

Settings:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'accros_93@hotmail.com' 
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'apikey'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = config('EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD')
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL: False
