Send E-mail to User When Account is Activated though Django Admin Application

[Asad Habib]

Is there a way to send an e-mail to a user when their account is activated through the Django admin application? I can do it independently of the Django admin application but I want the admin to be signed in before they activate a user. Is there a way to achieve this without customizing the Django admin application code? Thanks in advance.

I've done this recently by importing smtplib into my views.py file, and made executing a mail send a result of a view.

I didn't realize at the time, but there is Django specific tools for this as well.

I would also recommend checking out using Signals instead of directly from the view:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/signals/

You can then write a a function that will send an email based on the event. The sending email documentation is superb:
