Send email when someone submits a new organization

[cnk]

When we save a new organization from the API endpoint, we would like for <who?> to receive an email saying "please come review this submission" with a link to the Django admin interface.

We can put this into the serializer view but to get the email to actually get sent, we need to attach to an email sending service. Does it make sense to do this now? or attach this to SES once we move to AWS?

[cnk]

Setting up email sending in AWS requires some hoop jumping. Let's explore whether creating a GH issue via the API or sending a message to Slack would be less effort.

@cnk has it been set where we receive a Slack message?

No. You need to find someone who wants to work on this.

@cnk or @emecas to create API. Research how to send Slack message from django.

I found these 2 options:

1. django-slack-notification 1.0.0 https://pypi.org/project/django-slack-notification/
2. django-slack https://django-slack.readthedocs.io/

@cnk We cant use Slack for approval due to limited subscription, so instead, we will use a google sheet to track down when a new user submits the form.

• We need to run a cron job that checks the database daily and submits an issue to the GitHub board.

Below is the reference how 'Hack for LA' is doing it for the 'Share your wins' page.
