Django comes with such features built in. For 500 errors, it's a logging handler called AdminEmailHandler. It will trigger when there's uncaught exceptions, and will include the traceback in the email body.
404 is different. That's not an uncaught exception, but you can intercept those with BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware and send emails.
To customize how these emails look, you can create your own subclass of either or both of AdminEmailHandler and BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware. Change the relevant logging and middleware config in settings.py to point to your custom logging handler/middleware.
For the logging handler, you can for example use the format_subject method to add something to the subject line of the outgoing email.
class CustomAdminEmailHandler(AdminEmailHandler):
def format_subject(self, subject):
return '[ project name ]' + super().format_subject(subject)
Both the middleware and the logging handler uses django.core.email.mail-admins() to send the emails.
