Building an Email Scheduler Using QStash Python SDK
Blog post from Upstash
The blog post provides a detailed guide on building an email scheduler using the QStash Python SDK, SendGrid, and Django, with a live demo available on Vercel. The project aims to automate email scheduling for tasks such as reminders, newsletters, and notifications, ensuring timely delivery and saving time. It outlines prerequisites, including basic Python and Django knowledge, a SendGrid account, and an Upstash account for a QStash token. The process involves setting up a Django project, configuring necessary packages, and creating functions to handle environment variables, send emails via SendGrid, and schedule emails using QStash with either a delay or CRON expressions. The guide also includes creating Django views and URL patterns for scheduling and sending emails, as well as a template for scheduling emails. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the benefit of automating email communication and provides links to additional resources and the project's GitHub repository for further exploration.
