Certainly! Below is a Python script that automates sending daily email reports using the `smtplib` and `email` libraries. This script will send an email with a daily report to a specified list of recipients.
```python
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import datetime
# Email Configuration
sender_email = '[email protected]'
sender_password = 'your_password'
receiver_emails = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]']
subject = 'Daily Report - {}'.format(datetime.date.today())
# Report Content
report_content = """
Insert your daily report content here.
This can include any relevant information or statistics.
"""
# Create Email Message
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = sender_email
msg['To'] = ', '.join(receiver_emails)
msg['Subject'] = subject
# Attach Report Content
msg.attach(MIMEText(report_content, 'plain'))
# SMTP Configuration
smtp_server = 'smtp.example.com'
smtp_port = 587
# Establish Connection
with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, smtp_port) as server:
server.starttls()
server.login(sender_email, sender_password)
text = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_emails, text)
print("Email sent successfully!")
```
Now, let's walk through how to set up and use this script:
1. Install Required Libraries: Make sure you have `smtplib` installed. If not, you can install it via pip:
```
pip install secure-smtplib
```
2. Email Configuration:
- Replace `'[email protected]'` with your email address from which you want to send the reports.
- Replace `'your_password'` with the password of your email account.
- Update `receiver_emails` list with the email addresses of the recipients.
3. Report Content: Replace the placeholder content in `report_content` with your actual daily report content.
4. SMTP Configuration:
- Replace `'smtp.example.com'` with the SMTP server of your email provider.
- Replace `587` with the appropriate SMTP port.
5. Run the Script: Save the script with a `.py` extension (e.g., `daily_report.py`) and run it. You can schedule it to run daily using cron jobs (on Unix-like systems) or Task Scheduler (on Windows).
6. Automation: To automate the script to run daily, you can use system utilities like cron jobs or Task Scheduler. Set up a cron job or Task Scheduler task to run the script at your desired time each day.
By following these steps, the script will automatically send out daily email reports to the specified recipients. Make sure to secure your email credentials and sensitive information properly.
