How to automate sending daily email reports in Python, and how I would set it up.
A basic script to automate sending daily email reports using Python, using the smtplib
library for sending emails and schedule
library for scheduling the task to run daily:
Python
How to set it up:
Install Required Libraries: First, you need to install the
schedule
library if you haven't already. You can do this using pip:
Update Email Configuration: Replace
"your_email@gmail.com"
,"recipient_email@example.com"
, and"your_email_password"
with your actual email credentials. Ensure that you are using an email provider that allows SMTP access.Customize Email Content: Modify the
subject
andbody
variables in thesend_email
function to customize the content of your daily email report.Schedule Email Sending: The script is scheduled to send the email daily at 8:00 AM. You can adjust the time by modifying the
"08:00"
argument inschedule.every().day.at()
.Run the Script: Save the script as, say,
daily_email_report.py
, and run it using Python:
Keep the Script Running: Since the script includes an infinite loop (
while True
), it will keep running indefinitely, checking every minute if there's any scheduled task to execute.
Once set up, the script will automatically send the daily email report at the specified time without any manual intervention.
