I'm using small Rest api project
and it works fantastic.

But somehow i have to make send email function in there.

so i added email config in settings.py like that

// settings.py

# SMTP Mail service with decouple

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

EMAIL_HOST = "smtp.gmail.com"

EMAIL_HOST_USER = config('EM_ACCOUNT')

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = config('EM_PASSWORD')

EMAIL_PORT = 587

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER

//views.py

from rest_framework import viewsets

from consult.models import Consult

from consult.serializers import ConsultSerializer

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage





class ConsultViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

    queryset = Consult.objects.all()

    serializer_class = ConsultSerializer





def send_email(request):

    email = EmailMessage(

        'Title',

        (ConsultSerializer.name, ConsultSerializer.email, ConsultSerializer.phone),

        'my-email',

        ['my-receive-email']

    )

    email.attach_file(ConsultSerializer.file)

    email.send()

// models.py

from django.db import models





# Create your models here.

class Consult(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=16)

    position = models.CharField(max_length=16, null=True)

    group = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    email = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True)

    phone = models.CharField(max_length=14)

    describe = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)

    file = models.FileField(blank=True, null=True)

    create_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    update_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)



    class Meta:

        db_table = 'Consult'

// serializers.py

from rest_framework import serializers

from .models import Consult





class ConsultSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:

        model = Consult

        fields = ('id', 'name', 'position', 'group', 'email', 'phone', 'describe', 'file', 'create_date')

Yup. that is all of my codes.
And i setted send_mail function in views.

Honestly I want automatic send mail function
when the consult data in my DB. but I can find only normal django explanation.

Can you help me set a automatic send mail function when data created??

Method-1 : override the create() method of ConsultViewSet

def send_email():

    email = EmailMessage(

        'Title',

        (ConsultSerializer.name, ConsultSerializer.email, ConsultSerializer.phone),

        'my-email',

        ['my-receive-email']

    )

    email.attach_file(ConsultSerializer.file)

    email.send()





class ConsultViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

    queryset = Consult.objects.all()

    serializer_class = ConsultSerializer



    def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        response = super(ConsultViewSet, self).create(request, *args, **kwargs)

        send_email()  # sending mail

        return response
