How can I personalize email templates in Django?

You can personalize email templates in Django by using template tags and context variables. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! You can create a template like this:

<p>Hello {{ user.name }},</p>
<p>Thank you for joining us!</p>

Then, in your view, you can render it with the user's context:

from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.template.loader import render_to_string

def send_welcome_email(user):
    subject = 'Welcome!'
    message = render_to_string('welcome_email.html', {'user': user})
    send_mail(subject, message, '[email protected]', [user.email])

This will replace {{ user.name }} with the actual user's name.

What if I want to include dynamic content like a user's recent activity?

You can pass additional context variables to the template. For example, include a list of recent activities in your context:

def send_activity_email(user, activities):
    subject = 'Your Recent Activities'
    message = render_to_string('activity_email.html', {'user': user, 'activities': activities})
    send_mail(subject, message, '[email protected]', [user.email])

In your template, you can loop through the activities:

<p>Hi {{ user.name }},</p>
<p>Your recent activities:</p>
<ul>
{% for activity in activities %}
    <li>{{ activity }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
