Data is not storing in django database

This is the code in views.py.

def thanks(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        name = request.POST['name']
        email = request.POST['email']
        phone= request.POST['phone']
        doctor = request.POST['doctor']
        msg = request.POST['reason']
        print(name, email, phone, msg)
        appointment_db = appointment(name=name, email=email, phone=phone, doctor=doctor, message=msg)
        appointment_db.save()
    return render(request, "thanks.html", {"name": name})

rest of the code is working. the only error is in the second-last and third-last line.

 appointment_db = appointment(name=name, email=email, phone=phone, doctor=doctor, message=msg)
        appointment_db.save()

this is the error:

                 appointment_db = appointment(email=email, phone=phone, doctor=doctor, message=msg)
TypeError: appointment() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'

this is the model:

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class appointment(models.Model):
    count=models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    name= models.CharField(max_length=100)
    email= models.EmailField(max_length=1000)
    phone = models.IntegerField()
    message =models.TextField(max_length=5000)
    doctor = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name + " | "+ "Doctor : "+ self.doctor

The model is also registered and it is showing in the admin panel. However, when I try to store data in it via forms, it throws an error.

Likely you have a view function with the same name. This thus means that if you call <code>appointment(&hellip;)</code>, it triggers the view instead.

This is one of the reasons why classes are normally written in PascalCase, so Appointment instead of <s>appointment</s>:

<pre><code>class <b>Appointment</b>(models.Model):
count = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
# &hellip;</code></pre>

then the view thus works with:

<pre><code>from django.views.decorators.http import require_POST

@require_POST
def thanks(request):
name = request.POST['name']
email = request.POST['email']
phone = request.POST['phone']
doctor = request.POST['doctor']
msg = request.POST['reason']
print(name, email, phone, msg)
<b>Appointment</b>.objects.create(
name=name, email=email, phone=phone, doctor=doctor, message=msg
)
return render(request, 'thanks.html', {'name': name})</code></pre>
