I have developed a Django web application and integrated sending customize email using Brevo formally known as SendinBlue.
My settings.py file for sending emails is configured fine, because I am able to receive a password reset email, but I am unable to sending email in a function-based view. I want to send email to user upon application approval, but I am getting:
'User' object has no attribute 'swagger_types'
See my view code below where I integrate the API for sending email:
from __future__ import print_function
import sib_api_v3_sdk
from sib_api_v3_sdk.rest import ApiException
@login_required(login_url='user-login')
def approve_applicant(request, pk):
# Get Applicant id
app_id = Profile.objects.get(id=pk)
# Get Applicant's names
app_user = app_id.applicant
applicant_detail = app_id.surname
app_othername = app_id.othernames
app_phone = app_id.phone
app_email = app_id.applicant.email
# app_edu = app_id.applicant.education.qualification
# Try Check Application Submission
try:
app_id = Submitted.objects.get(applicant=app_user)
# When Applicant is Not Found
except Submitted.DoesNotExist:
# Send Message
messages.error(request, f"{applicant_detail} {app_othername} has No Submited Application")
# Redirect Back
return redirect('search-applicant')
else:
approved = Fee.objects.count()
if request.method == "POST":
# applicant = Submitted.objects.get(applicant_id=pk)
# Filter and Update scholarship Approval
Submitted.objects.filter(applicant_id=pk).update(approved='APROVED')
record_fee=Fee.objects.create(applicant=app_user, email=app_email, phone=app_phone)
record_fee.save()
# Instantiate the client with the API KEY
configuration = sib_api_v3_sdk.Configuration()
configuration.api_key['api-key']=config('API_KEY')
api_instance = sib_api_v3_sdk.TransactionalEmailsApi(sib_api_v3_sdk.ApiClient(configuration))
# Define the campaign settings\
subject = "SUCCESSGANDE SCHOLARSHIP PORTAL!"
sender = {"name": "SUCCESSGANDE", "email": "[email protected]"}
replyTo = {"name": "SUCCESSGANDE", "email": "[email protected]"}
html_content = "<html><body><h1>Congratulations! Your Scholarship Application has been approved. </h1></body></html>"
to = [{"email": app_email, "name": app_user}]
params = {"parameter": "My param value", "subject": "New Subject"}
send_smtp_email = sib_api_v3_sdk.SendSmtpEmail(to=to, bcc='[email protected]', cc='[email protected]', reply_to=replyTo, headers='Testing', html_content=html_content, sender=sender, subject=subject)
try:
api_response = api_instance.send_transac_email(send_smtp_email)
print(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling SMTPApi->send_transac_email: %s\n" % e)
print("Exception when calling EmailCampaignsApi->create_email_campaign: %s\n" % e)
messages.success(request, f'{applicant_detail} {app_othername} Scholarship Approved successfully')
return redirect('search-applicant')
context = {
'applicant': applicant_detail,
'app_othername': app_othername,
'app_user': app_user,
'approved': approved,
}
return render(request, 'user/approval_form.html', context)
How can I best achieve sending email in my view using the BREVO (SendinBlue) API in a Django function-based view?
