Issue
Using selenium I have a code that determines if an item is 'in stock' or 'out of stock'. The code can detect once an 'out of stock' item becomes 'in stock'. Using smtplib, I'd like an email to be sent from the following email address:
[email protected] password: 1234
to:
notifying the individual once an item is 'in stock'.
What would a complete python code for this look like?.
Solution
You can try something like :
For Sending Plain Text Emails
import smtplib, ssl from email.mime.text import MIMEText port = 587 # For starttls smtp_server = "smtp.office365.com" sender_email = "the_sender_email_address" # [email protected] password = "the_sender_email_address_password" # 1234 receiver_email = "the_receiver_email_address" # [email protected] message = MIMEText("Hurry up.. Item in Stock Again") # Your message message['Subject'] = "Item in Stock Again" # Email Subject message['From'] = sender_email message['To'] = receiver_email context = ssl.create_default_context() with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port) as server: server.ehlo() # Can be omitted server.starttls(context=context) server.ehlo() # Can be omitted server.login(sender_email, password) server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, message.as_string())Including Some HTML Content
import smtplib, ssl from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart port = 587 # For starttls smtp_server = "smtp.office365.com" sender_email = "sender_email" password = "sender_email_password" receiver_email = "receiver_email" message = MIMEMultipart("alternative") message["Subject"] = "multipart test" message["From"] = sender_email message["To"] = receiver_email # Create the plain-text and HTML version of your message text = """\ Hurry Up""" html = """\ <html> <body> <p> <a href="http://www.realpython.com">Item</a> is in stock again. </p> </body> </html> """ # Turn these into plain/html MIMEText objects part1 = MIMEText(text, "plain") part2 = MIMEText(html, "html") # Add HTML/plain-text parts to MIMEMultipart message # The email client will try to render the last part first message.attach(part1) message.attach(part2) context = ssl.create_default_context() with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port) as server: server.starttls(context=context) server.login(sender_email, password) server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, message.as_string())Adding Attachments Using the email Module
import email, smtplib, ssl from email import encoders from email.mime.base import MIMEBase from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText port = 587 # For starttls smtp_server = "smtp.office365.com" sender_email = "sender_email_address" password = "sender_email_password" receiver_email = "receiver_email_address" subject = "Item in Stock " body = "email with attachment" # Create a multipart message and set headers message = MIMEMultipart() message["From"] = sender_email message["To"] = receiver_email message["Subject"] = subject message["Bcc"] = receiver_email # Recommended for bul mails # Add body to email message.attach(MIMEText(body, "plain")) filename = "some_document.pdf" # In same directory as the script # Open PDF file in binary mode with open(filename, "rb") as attachment: # Add file as application/octet-stream # Email client can usually download this automatically as attachment part = MIMEBase("application", "octet-stream") part.set_payload(attachment.read()) # Encode file in ASCII characters to send by email encoders.encode_base64(part) # Add header as key/value pair to attachment part part.add_header( "Content-Disposition", f"attachment; filename= {filename}",) # Add attachment to message and convert message to string message.attach(part) text = message.as_string() # Log in to server using secure context and send email context = ssl.create_default_context() with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port) as server: server.starttls(context=context) server.login(sender_email, password) server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, text)
NOTE : While the code examples above will work, keep in mind it's old code and isn't the best code you can write to send emails using python smtplib, email.
You should be using the new EmailMessage/EmailPolicy API (introduced in python 3.6).
You can find more examples here on python docs.
