Let's delve into discussing some additional features and improvements you can consider adding
to your automated daily email report script in Python:
Sometimes reports are more informative with attachments like CSV files, PDFs, or images. You can
enhance your script to include attachments:
```python
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', f'attachment; filename= {attachment_filename}')
msg.attach(part)
try:
smtp_server = smtplib.SMTP(EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_PORT)
smtp_server.starttls()
smtp_server.login(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_PASSWORD)
smtp_server.sendmail(EMAIL_ADDRESS, to_email, msg.as_string())
smtp_server.quit()
print(f"Email with attachment sent successfully to {to_email}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to send email with attachment to {to_email}. Error: {str(e)}")
```
This function allows you to attach a file specified by `attachment_filename` to your email.
Enhance the formatting of your email by sending HTML content. This allows for richer content with
styling and embedded images:
```python
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
Implement robust logging to keep track of emails sent and any errors encountered:
```python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename='email_logs.log', level=logging.INFO)
try:
# Existing email sending code...
Allow users to configure the schedule via a configuration file or command-line arguments:
```python
import sys
def send_daily_report():
recipient = 'recipient@example.com' # Replace with recipient's email address
subject = 'Daily Report'
body = generate_daily_report()
send_email(subject, body, recipient)
# Example usage:
if __name__ == "__main__":
if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == 'test':
send_daily_report() # Run once for testing
else:
schedule.every().day.at("08:00").do(send_daily_report)
```
```python
def send_email_to_multiple(subject, body, to_emails):
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = EMAIL_ADDRESS
msg['To'] = ', '.join(to_emails)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
try:
smtp_server = smtplib.SMTP(EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_PORT)
smtp_server.starttls()
smtp_server.login(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_PASSWORD)
smtp_server.sendmail(EMAIL_ADDRESS, to_emails, msg.as_string())
smtp_server.quit()
print(f"Email sent successfully to {', '.join(to_emails)}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to send email to {', '.join(to_emails)}. Error: {str(e)}")
```
If you have recipients in different time zones, consider adjusting the schedule or the content based on
their location.
If your reports are complex, consider using libraries like Pandas for data manipulation or Matplotlib for
generating graphs within your report.
### Conclusion
By incorporating these additional features into your Python script, you can create a more flexible, robust,
and user-friendly automated email reporting system that meets various needs and use cases. Always test
thoroughly and consider security best practices, especially when handling sensitive information or
automating email sending.
