Django-allauth: send welcome email on signup (without verification)
How can I send a welcome email to a user who signs up on a django app(using django-allauth). If I set ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = ("mandatory"), it works fine, and the user gets a verification email. But since I dont require any email verification, so the user should simply signup and get a welcome email.
settings.py-
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = ("email")
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = ("none")
ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_PASSWORD_VERIFICATION = False
ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_EMAIL = True
ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False
EMAIL_CONFIRMATION_SIGNUP = True
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED =True
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
LOGOUT_URL = '/'
ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_ON_GET =False
ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
SOCIALACCOUNT_QUERY_EMAIL = (ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED)
SOCIALACCOUNT_AUTO_SIGNUP = True
SOCIALACCOUNT_AVATAR_SUPPORT = ( 'avatar' in INSTALLED_APPS)
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '##'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '##'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
Is there any setting I missed which sends the welcome signup mail? Or do I have to pass it through my views? Cant seem to figure out the way for this. Any help would be great. Thanks.

No there is no such settings, but you can listen to a user_signed_up signal, which will have the user and request in parameters. Once it received send an email to the user.
Put the below code some where in models.py file:
from allauth.account.signals import user_signed_up
from django.dispatch import receiver
@receiver(user_signed_up, dispatch_uid="some.unique.string.id.for.allauth.user_signed_up")
def user_signed_up_(request, user, **kwargs):
# user signed up now send email
# send email part - do your self
