festflow/templates/email_extrasdirectory. - Now these templates could be used anywhere within the application by using the
send_mail_templatemethod ofemail_extras.utilspackage. Eg. Suppose we haveexample_mail.htmlandexample_mail.txtas our text based and HTML based templates with some contextctx, attachmentsatchand headersheaders, then we could do the following to use the template system.
from email_extras.utils import send_mail_template
send_mail_template("Subject", 'example_mail', from_address, to_address,
fail_silently=False, attachments=atch, context=ctx, headers=headers)
