Registration/Invitation backend not sending emails

[Bharat Nallan]

Hi there!

I have implemented my own backend for Invitation and Registration using Base backends from Django Organization.

I have included the smtp settings like mail server, port etc in my settings file. I realized that no emails are sent during Organization, User creation etc and I don't know if something else needs to be configured to make this work

It would be really helpful to know if I need to add something additional / any recommendations. Thanks!

That sounds like something the invitation backends don't handle. Can you describe the workflow in which you would expect someone to receive an email?

Thanks @bennylope, when we add an user to an organization who is not part of it, but is already an user in the accounts_user table, I expect the invitation backend, invite_by_email function to trigger an email invitation to the user (given that I have already set up the necessary django email config in the settings.py file.)

Similar behavior is expected for the registration backend, register_by_email function.

I managed to write my own backend which handles the email handling part of it by using the abstract invitation and registration backends, but still, is there a better way to do this?

@bennylope closing this out for now. I think I have got I wanted. Thanks!
