Sending Email From Web Forms - Python and Flask #6

In this video I'll show you how to send email in Flask from a web form.

So in the last couple of videos we created our basic email newsletter sign up form. In this video I'll show you how to send a little confirmation email whenever someone fills out that form.

Sending email with Flask is pretty simple, it should only take 5 or 6 lines of code!

Thanks a million John! I recently built my first ever Python+Flask website, and sending emails from the Contact page form was the one feature I could JUST NOT GET working. Thank you so much for a working solution.

[heinergiehl]

great tutorial. One question is it possible to send an email subject as well? otherwise its undefined in the email

[lolesportshub]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

One quick question if I may...

So this allows a user to use our own email account to send an email to us, right? However, this user's email will be delivered to us from the email that we initially set up in the flask application rather than the user's own email address.

I would be grateful if you could confirm that this is correct...

Hi John, I'm following this series of videos and can't get "access to less secure apps". A message on Gmail says :-

To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022, ​​Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

Important: This deadline does not apply to Google Workspace or Google Cloud Identity customers. The enforcement date for these customers will be announced on the Workspace blog at a later date.

Is there a work around? David

thank you for a great flask tutorial, question for you: how can i incorporate a password reset function into the app? thank you in advance for your time in answering my question.

[dailylegend]

Great tutorial, but I at 6:10 the Flask error messages reveal your password. I hope you have changed it.

If I use python to send a subscription email, how do I get the bottom of the email to go to a link where someone can unsubscribe?

[Alex-gbmk]

I will like to use this method to send messages on my contact form is this safe? I mean my password and username will be accessible to others?

[nealcollins]

it seems to only want to let me have the error or have the emails send am i doing something wrong? if i comment out email sending the error works if i comment out the error the email works EDIT: nevermind i changed it to a if and else statement and got them both to work.

[infinitespace]

Didn't Google remove this feature of allowing less secure third-party apps to send emails by march 30th?

[cryptolover]
