Settings Reference

All settings are read from your Django settings module.

Required

Setting	Type	Description
LETTERMINT_API_KEY	str	Your project API token from the Lettermint dashboard

Optional

Setting	Type	Default	Description
LETTERMINT_BASE_URL	str	SDK default	Override the Lettermint API base URL
LETTERMINT_ROUTE	str	None	Default route applied to all outgoing emails
LETTERMINT_TIMEOUT	int	SDK default	Request timeout in seconds

Notes

• LETTERMINT_ROUTE sets a default route for all messages. Individual messages can override this using extra_headers["X-Lettermint-Route"].
• LETTERMINT_BASE_URL is rarely needed. Only set this if you are testing against a custom or staging Lettermint environment.
• LETTERMINT_TIMEOUT accepts any value accepted by the underlying lettermint SDK (integer seconds).

Example

import os

EMAIL_BACKEND = "lettermint_django.LettermintEmailBackend"
LETTERMINT_API_KEY = os.getenv("LETTERMINT_API_KEY")
LETTERMINT_ROUTE = "transactional"
LETTERMINT_TIMEOUT = 10
