Django Newsletter Integration Options

For integrating newsletter functionality with your Django site, there are several reliable options that work well with Django:

Popular Email Marketing Services

1. Mailchimp

   • Has a well-documented Django package (django-mailchimp-v3)
   • Offers templates, analytics, and automation
   • Free tier available for up to 2,000 contacts

2. SendGrid

   • Reliable delivery rates
   • Has Django integration via their Python library
   • Good for transactional emails and newsletters

3. Sendinblue (now Brevo)

   • User-friendly interface
   • Python SDK available for Django integration
   • Includes marketing automation features

Django-specific Packages

1. django-newsletter
   • Native Django solution
   • Handles subscriptions, unsubscribes, and sending
   • Example integration:

PYTHONCopied
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'newsletter',
    # ...
]

# urls.py
urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path('newsletter/', include('newsletter.urls')),
    # ...
]

2. django-anymail
   • Integrates with multiple email service providers
   • Consistent API regardless of backend
   • Example:

PYTHONCopied
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'anymail',
    # ...
]

ANYMAIL = {
    "MAILGUN_API_KEY": "key-****",
    "MAILGUN_SENDER_DOMAIN": "mg.example.com",
}
EMAIL_BACKEND = "anymail.backends.mailgun.EmailBackend"

When implementing, remember to:

• Get explicit consent during registration
• Provide clear unsubscribe options
• Consider GDPR compliance if you have European users
