Django - Attach PDF to an e-mail which was generat

Question

I have a view which generates a PDF file and returns it as a HtmlResponse. Then the suitable URL shows that file. I want to be able to attach that pdf to an e-mail. Which is the best way to do this?

Any tips or examples are appreciated!

Answer 1

You can use EmailMessage.attach()

Assuming you have a method create_pdf that creates your PDF, you should be able to do something like this:

pdf_content = create_pdf()
email = EmailMessage('Hello', 'Body goes here', '[e-mail]',
        ['[e-mail]'])
email.attach('document.pdf', pdf_content, 'application/pdf')
email.send()
