Html

<input id="recipient_email" type="email">

view.py

from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives

def send_email(subject, text_content, html_content, to):
    to = 'test_to@gmail.com'
    from_email = 'test_from@gmail.com'
    subject = 'New Project Created'
    text_content = 'A Test'
    html_content = """
        <h3 style="color: #0b9ac4>email received!</h3>
    """
    email_body = html_content
    msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email, to)
    msg.attach_alternative(email_body, "text/html")
    msg.send()

You need to do the work inside a view. Also, in order to send data to the server, you need to give a name to the input.

<input id="recipient_email" type="email" name="recipient_email_address">

Then, inside a Django view, you would get this input data like this:

If it was a POST request:

to = request.POST['recipient_email_address']

If it was a GET request:

to = request.GET['recipient_email_address']

Then you would pass the to variable as an argument to your send_email function.

Please note that the to argument in the EmailMultiAlternatives expects a list , instead of a str .

See below an example:

index.html

<form method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
  <input id="recipient_email" type="email" name="recipient_email_address">
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

views.py

def send_email_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        to = request.POST['recipient_email_address']
        send_email('subject of the message', 'email body', '<p>email body</p>', [to, ])
    return render(request, 'index.html')

Please consider using the Forms API when dealing with user input. Read more about it in the documentation .
