Django user input steps needed

Question

I'm a noob I know. So I want to build a web app that allows the user to enter text. Then have the web server send an email based on the text with a message from another file.

What would be the optimal way to accomplish this? I am new to Django but have experience with Python. If someone could give me a basic bullet point way on how to do this I can google the rest. I just don't know where to start.

There is plenty of good guides online. The django documentation will take you step by step through making your first django app.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/tutorial01/

Django has a sendmail library that you can use once you get your app started
