Add user's email when sending email in Django Rest Framework

I've got this working serializer:

class ReportAnswerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    complain_by = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(read_only=True, default=serializers.CurrentUserDefault())
    answer = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = ModerateAnswer
        fields = ('answer', 'moderate_reason', 'moderate_comment', 'complain_by')
        extra_kwargs = {'moderate_reason': {'required': True}}

    def create(self, validated_data):
        instance = super(ReportAnswerSerializer, self).create(validated_data)
        send_mail(
            'Dziękujemy za zgłoszenie',
            'Zgłosiłeś odpowiedź: {}. Team Deor zajmie się teraz tą wiadomością'.format(instance.answer),
            '[email protected]',
            [[email protected]],
            fail_silently=False,
        )
        return instance

But i don't want to statically send email. Everytime a user reports an answer i want to send them a mail "Thanks for reporting the answer" But i dont know how to format the [[email protected]] dynamically. I am using a custom user model.

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=30, unique=True, null=True, blank=True, editable=False)
    email = models.EmailField(blank=False, unique=True)
    number_of_points = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    facebook_profile = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True)
    instagram_profile = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True)
    twitter_profile = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True)
    package = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=False, default='L')
    paid_till = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
    package_downgraded = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True)
    sex = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True)
    location = models.ForeignKey(City, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
    badges = models.ManyToManyField('users.Badge', blank=True)

Do you have any idea how to do it?

If you use generic class based view it passes request to serializer class within special context parameter. You can use it to get user's email like this:

def create(self, validated_data):
    instance = super(ReportAnswerSerializer, self).create(validated_data)
    send_mail(
        'Dziękujemy za zgłoszenie',
        'Zgłosiłeś odpowiedź: {}. Team Deor zajmie się teraz tą wiadomością'.format(instance.answer),
        '[email protected]',
        [self.context['request'].user.email],
        fail_silently=False,
    )
    return instance

Note that if you don't use generic views you should pass context to your serializer manually. In your view you need to initialize serializer this way:

serializer = ReportAnswerSerializer(data=request.data, context={'request': request})
