Certainly! To automate sending daily email reports in Python, you can use the `smtplib` library to send emails and `schedule` library to schedule the script to run daily. Additionally, you can use the `email` library to construct the email content.
Here's a simple script for sending daily email reports:
```python
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
import schedule
import time
def send_email(subject, body, to_email):
# Your email credentials
sender_email = 'your_email@gmail.com'
sender_password = 'your_email_password'
# Create the email message
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = sender_email
msg['To'] = to_email
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
# Connect to the SMTP server
with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) as server:
server.starttls()
server.login(sender_email, sender_password)
# Send the email
server.sendmail(sender_email, to_email, msg.as_string())
def daily_report():
# Replace these with your report generation logic
report_subject = 'Daily Report'
report_body = 'This is your daily report content.'
# Replace this with the recipient email address
recipient_email = 'recipient@example.com'
# Send the email
send_email(report_subject, report_body, recipient_email)
# Schedule the script to run daily at a specific time (e.g., 9:00 AM)
schedule.every().day.at("09:00").do(daily_report)
while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)
```
Here's how you can set it up:
1. Install the required libraries:
```bash
pip install schedule
```
2. Replace the placeholders in the script with your actual email credentials, report generation logic, and recipient email address.
3. Make sure to enable "Less secure app access" for your Gmail account if you are using a Gmail account for sending emails. You can do this in your Google Account settings.
4. Run the script. It will send the daily report email at the specified time.
Note: Be careful with storing your email credentials in the script. It's recommended to use environment variables or a configuration file for better security.
