Sure, I can guide you through creating a Python script to automate sending daily email reports. We’ll be using the smtplib library to send emails and the schedule library to schedule the script to run daily.Here’s a step-by-step guide:Step 1: Set up your email accountBefore you start coding, make sure you have an email account that you can use to send emails from. You’ll need the SMTP server address, port number, and your login credentials (email address and password).Step 2: Install required librariesMake sure you have smtplib and schedule libraries installed. If not, you can install them using pip:bashCopy codepip install smtplib schedule
Step 3: Write the Python scriptHere’s a basic example of a Python script to send daily email reports:pythonCopy codeimport smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import schedule
import time
def send_email():
# Email configuration
sender_email = «your_email@gmail.com»
receiver_email = «recipient_email@example.com»
password = «your_password»
# Create message container
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg[‘From’] = sender_email
msg[‘To’] = receiver_email
msg[‘Subject’] = «Daily Report»
# Email body
body = «Hello,nnHere is your daily report.»
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, ‘plain’))
# Connect to SMTP server
with smtplib.SMTP(‘smtp.gmail.com’, 587) as server:
server.starttls()
server.login(sender_email, password)
server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, msg.as_string())
print(«Email sent successfully.»)
# Schedule the script to run daily at a specific time
schedule.every().day.at(«08:00»).do(send_email)
while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(60) # Check every minute
Step 4: Customize the scriptReplace «your_email@gmail.com» with your email address.Replace «recipient_email@example.com» with the recipient’s email address.Replace «your_password» with your email account password.Customize the email subject and body as needed.Step 5: Run the scriptSave the script with a .py extension (e.g., daily_report.py) and run it using the command:bashCopy codepython daily_report.py
Step 6: Make sure the script runs dailyLeave the script running in the background. It will automatically send the email report daily at the specified time.That’s it! You’ve set up a Python script to automate sending daily email reports.
