Django send mail from admin panel

Question

I want to send an email to users from django admin panel and store the sent mail in the database too. I have two usertypes: 1.Staff 2. Students. When I select staff and give email, it'll send an email to all the staff who are all having " usertype=staff " in User model and vice versa. I found some difficulties to send the mail from the admin panel. Please some one give me an idea.

models.py

username = models.CharField()
    first_name = models.CharField()
    last_name = models.CharField()
    email = models.EmailField()
    password = models.CharField()
    companyname=models.CharField()
    usertype=models.CharField()
    is_staff = models.BooleanField()
    is_active = models.BooleanField()
    is_superuser = models.BooleanField()
    last_login = models.DateTimeField()
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField()
    groups = models.ManyToManyField()
    user_permissions = models.ManyToManyField()


class newsletter(models.Model):
    USERTYPES = (
        ('staff', 'staff'),
        ('student', 'student'),
    )
    usertype=models.CharField(max_length=50,choices=USERTYPES)
    subject=models.CharField(max_length=100)
    message=models.TextField(blank=True)
    sentdate=models.DateTimeField(auto_now = True)

admin.py

admin.site.register(newsletter)

Answer 1

Perhaps an admin action would be suitable.

Well Looking at the doc I found that you can add views to your admin site
