How to send mail using django

Question

So im trying to send a gmail in my django project. But every time i press the submit button i get html 405 error page.

Views:

def send_email(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        name = request.POST.get("name")
        email = request.POST.get("email")
        message = request.POST.get("message")
        send_mail(name, email, message, ["[email protected]"])
        return HttpResponseRedirect("dashboard/")

HTML:

<form action="" method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="message_name" placeholder="Full name" id="full_name">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="message_email" placeholder="Email" id="login-email">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="message" placeholder="Poruka" id="text">
    <input type="submit" value="Pošalji" class="login-button">
</form>

You forget to put actual URL to the action of the form. Then you send POST request to your current URL (which seems to not handle POST requests) and you justly receive 405 Method Not Allowed error.

Which action do i put? Like action="What in here"

The URL leading to your send_email view.

Wdym, there is no url that goes to send_email

After you hit the "Submit" button your browser sends POST request to the URL for action. So if you want this request to be processed with your view send_email, you have to configure URL for your view in urls.py.
