How can I get in post the context_data?

In a CreateView I have the following code:

def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        response = super().post(request, *args, **kwargs)
        send_confirmation_email()

When a form is submited, I want to send an email, but in the email function, I need some data from the context(what was submitted).

Also I want this to happen if everything is ok, so also on get_success_url.

You are mixing two things. context_data is the data you send to the template. You can get it with self.get_context_data() if needed.

The submitted data can be found in self.request.POST.

However, in a create view, you can use the form_valid() method to process the form data.
