Send mail after x hours

[Kishan Mehta]

Hi guys,

I am using django 1.9. I am working on requirement where we need to send users reminder to activate their account by email after x hours h/she has signed on our platform.

I have send_mail task and I have configured https://github.com/ui/django-rq to send mails. 

One way I can think of is to set up a cron job using https://github.com/ui/rq-scheduler which runs every 5 mins to check for users who signed up 6 hours before. 

Is there any better way to do this ?

Thanks,

Kishan

I’ll suggest you to use some background task runner. Celery will work great for you as it is developed for Python and work on multiple platform with multiple types of message queues.

Thanks but I already have django rq adn rq-scheduler configured and running so I was thinking to use it and avoid celery.

Personally, I'd setup a simple cronjob on my machine that runs a Django management command. The command would get a list of users who are eligible to receive emails and send it to them.

I would have just used the send_mail directly from my management command, but if you already have a RQ setup for that, just go ahead and use the same.

This approach is simple and doesn't require using the rq-scheduler. But if you really want, using rq-scheduler is basically the same and the end result is similar.
