Hi,

Follow is my code to send email:

@api.multi

def mailmessage(self):

vals ={}

domain = [('name','like','EAR Activation Request')]

template = self.env['email.template'].search(domain, limit=1)

template = template[0]

print(template.email_to)

template.send_mail(self.id, True)

return True

My template is getting all the data correctly from model. However, I need to pass a dynamic data to the template before sending email. Be it email_to or ip_address. Can someone guide me how can I pass these two variables on runtime in my python code before send_mail function so the template pick them?

Thanks

Hi Alex below i am posting the code for new and simple way for doing this task

please use self.env.ref instead of self.env['email.template'].search(domain, limit=1)

mytemplate_obj = self.env.ref('my_module.my_mail_template', False)

here the mytemplate_obj is the object of email.template , it's mean it's a active record .

Now You can change/set the field value (email_from,subject,email_to)of this object simply and call the send_mail.

Hope this may help you.
