Send E-mail to User When Account is Activated though Django Admin Application

[Asad Habib]

Is there a way to send an e-mail to a user when their account is activated
through the Django admin application? I can do it independently of the
Django admin application but I want the admin to be signed in before they
activate a user. Is there a way to achieve this without customizing the
Django admin application code? Thanks in advance.

I've done this recently by importing smtplib into my views.py file, and
made executing a mail send a result of a view.

I didn't realize at the time, but there is Django specific tools for this
as well.

I would also recommend checking out using Signals instead of directly from
the view:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/signals/

You can then write a a function that will send an email based on the event.
The sending email documentation is superb:
