I want to add an email into a path in Django. I did this code but I don't know how take the variable called email after username place.

path('validate_email/<slug:username>/(?P<email>[\w.%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})/<slug:token>', views.validate_email, name="validate_email")

You cannot use a regex with path(). If you want to use a regex you'll need to use re_path() or url().

It might be easier to use simply <email> in the URL pattern, then you can validate the email in the view.

 path('validate_email/<slug:username>/<email>/<slug:token>', views.validate_email, name="validate_email")

simply replace url with re_path if you don't want to do additional validation in view: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/urls/#django.urls.re_path – PhoebeB Aug 13 '18 at 09:47
