Odoo: Set/use context in email templates



Today we are going to discuss, how to use/change the context in dynamic/custom templates.

Let's say we want to send some values to an email template other than normal object id, here is the code for that

In controllers/main.py

local_context = request.env.context.copy()

In module.py file

local_context = self.env.context.copy()
local_context.update({
    'name': 'Shiv',
    'place': 'Bangalore'
})

 template = request.env.ref('module_name.email_template_id')
            template.with_context(local_context).send_mail(object.id, force_send=True, raise_exception=True)

 In email template code you can access context as:

 <p>${ctx['name']}</p>
<p>${ctx['place']}</p>

 That's it.
