How to Send Approval Request Emails with Django
Learn how to send approval request emails from your Django application using AISend's AI-powered email API. This guide covers setup, implementation, and best practices for requesting user approval for pending actions.
What are approval request emails?
Approval Request emails are transactional emails triggered by user actions, specifically for requesting user approval for pending actions. These emails are critical to your application's user experience — if a approval request email doesn't arrive, users lose trust in your product. Approval Request emails typically have high open rates (60-80%) because recipients are expecting them. This makes deliverability especially important — you need an email API that ensures these messages reach the inbox, not the spam folder. AISend's AI-powered routing selects the best email provider for each recipient, maximizing inbox placement for your approval request emails.
Setting up AISend with Django
Start by creating a free AISend account at aisend.app — no credit card required. From your dashboard, create an API key. Install the AISend Python SDK: pip install aisend. Or call the REST API directly using requests or httpx. For production use, store your API key in environment variables — never hard-code credentials in your source code.
Sending approval request emails
To send a approval request email, make a POST request to the AISend API with four fields: from (your verified sending domain), to (the recipient's email), subject (a clear, descriptive subject line for your approval request email), and html (the email body). For approval request emails specifically, keep the content focused and actionable — include only the information the user needs for requesting user approval for pending actions. Avoid promotional content in transactional emails as it can hurt deliverability and may violate anti-spam regulations. AISend's AI automatically scores your content for deliverability before sending.
Best practices for approval request emails in Django
Send approval request emails immediately when triggered — delays frustrate users, especially for time-sensitive emails like approval request. Use a background job queue to avoid blocking your application's response time. Include clear branding so users recognize your email. Keep subject lines descriptive and specific (e.g., "Your approval request from [AppName]"). Set up webhook handlers to track delivery status and handle bounces. Always include both HTML and plain text versions for accessibility. Use AISend's domain verification to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for maximum deliverability.
