Djrill: Mandrill Transactional Email for Django
===============================================
.. This README is reused in multiple places:
* Github: project page, exactly as it appears here
* Docs: shared-intro section gets included in docs/index.rst
quickstart section gets included in docs/quickstart.rst
* PyPI: project page (via setup.py long_description),
with several edits to freeze it to the specific PyPI release
(see long_description_from_readme in setup.py)
You can use docutils 1.0 markup, but *not* any Sphinx additions.

.. _shared-intro:
.. This shared-intro section is also included in docs/index.rst
Djrill integrates the `Mandrill <http://mandrill.com>`_ transactional
email service into Django.
In general, Djrill "just works" with Django's built-in `django.core.mail`
package. It includes:
* Support for HTML, attachments, extra headers, and other features of
`Django's built-in email <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/>`_
* Mandrill-specific extensions like tags, metadata, tracking, and MailChimp templates
* Optional support for Mandrill inbound email and other webhook notifications,
via Django signals
* An optional Django admin interface
Djrill is released under the BSD license. It is tested against Django 1.3---1.7b1
(including Python 3 and PyPy support with Django 1.5+).

------------
.. _quickstart:
.. This quickstart section is also included in docs/quickstart.rst
1. Install Djrill from PyPI:
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install djrill
2. Edit your project's ``settings.py``:
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
"djrill"
)
MANDRILL_API_KEY = "<your Mandrill key>"
EMAIL_BACKEND = "djrill.mail.backends.djrill.DjrillBackend"
3. Now the regular `Django email functions <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/>`_
will send through Mandrill:
.. code-block:: python
from django.core.mail import send_mail
send_mail("It works!", "This will get sent through Mandrill",
"Djrill Sender <djrill@example.com>", ["to@example.com"])
You could send an HTML message, complete with custom Mandrill tags and metadata:
.. code-block:: python
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(
subject="Djrill Message",
body="This is the text email body",
from_email="Djrill Sender <djrill@example.com>",
to=["Recipient One <someone@example.com>", "another.person@example.com"],
headers={'Reply-To': "Service <support@example.com>"} # optional extra headers
)
msg.attach_alternative("<p>This is the HTML email body</p>", "text/html")
# Optional Mandrill-specific extensions:
msg.tags = ["one tag", "two tag", "red tag", "blue tag"]
msg.metadata = {'user_id': "8675309"}
# Send it:
msg.send()
.. END quickstart
