Automated Email Script

This Python script sends automated emails with both plain text and HTML content. It includes an "Icebox" section where additional features can be added in the future.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python
• Git (optional, for cloning the repository)

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository to your local machine (optional):

   git clone https://github.com/joe-bor/automated-email-script.git
   cd automated-email-script

2. Install required dependencies using the provided requirements.txt

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Create a file named .env in the project root and add the following:

   EMAIL=your_email@example.com
   PASSWORD=your_email_password
   RECEIVER_EMAILS=email1@example.com,email2@example.com
   GOALS=goal1, goal2, goal3
   REFLECTIONS=reflection1, reflection2, reflection3
   

• Replace the placeholders with your actual email, password, and receiver email addresses. Add your goals and reflections for customization.

4. Execute the script by running the following command:

   python automated_email_script.py

Customization

• Email Content:

  • Modify the get_goals and get_reflections functions in the script to customize your goals and reflections dynamically.
  • Edit the HTML content in the msg.add_alternative section for the HTML version to reflect your message.

• Icebox Section:

  • Add or remove items in the "Icebox" section to include or exclude additional features.
  • Modify the script to implement new features in the "Icebox."

Notes

• Ensure that "Less Secure App Access" is enabled for the sender email account to allow SMTP access. This setting may vary depending on your email provider.

• Always keep sensitive information, such as email passwords, secure.

• Avoid sharing them in public repositories or environments.
