# django-templated-mail — Send emails using Django template system.

License: permissive · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 214.6K/mo

## What it is and what it does

django-templated-mail is a thin wrapper around Django's EmailMultiAlternatives that lets you store email content in template files rather than hardcoding it in Python. Instead of building email bodies as strings, you reference a template by name and pass a context dictionary, and the package renders it using Django's template engine before sending.

It's designed for Django projects where email templates need to be managed separately from code—useful for marketing emails, notifications, or any scenario where non-developers might need to edit email content. The package has no runtime dependencies beyond Django itself, making it lightweight to add to existing projects.

Use it for:

- Store transactional email templates (password resets, confirmations) in your Django template directory instead of Python strings.
- Allow content teams to edit email text without touching code by keeping templates in version control.
- Send multi-part emails (HTML and plain text) by defining both in a single template file.
- Render emails with Django context variables (user names, URLs, dates) pulled from your application state.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Sends Django emails using template files instead of inline strings, wrapping EmailMultiAlternatives to load email content from the template system.

No. The package is abandoned (last release February 2018, last commit August 2021) and will not receive updates for Django or Python versions released after that time. Modern Django projects should use built-in template rendering or maintained alternatives. If you are on an old Django version stuck at 1.11 or 2.0, it may work, but there is no path forward.

## Install

pip install django-templated-mail
uv add django-templated-mail
poetry add django-templated-mail

## Installing django-templated-mail

Before you install: Installation is straightforward with no runtime dependencies. However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2018-02-01 and last commit 2021-08-19—so it will not receive bug fixes or security updates for newly discovered issues.

License in practice: MIT license is permissive, allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install django-templated-mail

from django_templated_mail.mail import BaseEmailMessage

email = BaseEmailMessage(
    template_name='path/to/template.html',
    context={'user': 'name'},
    to=['recipient@example.com']
)
email.send()

Requires Django to be installed and configured; email backend must be set up in Django settings.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package works with Django versions released after 2018 without modification.
- Whether it supports modern Python versions beyond those listed in classifiers (3.6 and earlier).
