You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```

@app.post("/send-notification/{email}")
async def send_notification(email: str, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks):
    background_tasks.add_task(write_notification, email, message="some notification")

/// tip | Astuce

Gardez à l'esprit que si vous renvoyez une réponse directement au lieu d'utiliser le paramètre `Response`, FastAPI la renverra telle quelle.

Vous devez donc vous assurer que vos données sont du type correct. Par exemple, qu'elles sont compatibles avec JSON si vous renvoyez une `JSONResponse`.

Et également que vous n'envoyez pas de données qui auraient dû être filtrées par un `response_model`.

        os.remove(log)  # pragma: no cover

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md), activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```

This is because uploaded files are sent as "form data".
