If at your work, you've developed a python web scrapping, and you want to setup an email alert/notification if the web scrapping program fails. How you develop an email alert/notification?

hi corey, please is this method still working, i tried with python 2.7 the method did not work any update please, thanks

Thank Youuu

does it work for anyone else?

i sent a pdf through the method in the video but i am unable to open that pdf, its says failed to load pdf. Does anyone have a solution for it?

i tried this with outlook but it just sent a blank mail. Any reasons?

Is there a way to hide the recipients form other recipients when sending?

sir i need to send an external html attachment

Email py has get_email_address_list which accepts both str and list. If the string has list of e-mails separated by , or ; it splits it to list.

Hello Corey, Thank you very much for this video. It's extremely clear, fast pace, super useful. BR, Anil

Beside the gmail thing,
do all the scripts still work nowadays -if we use an Smtp server?

Using Windows 10, and the HTML color didn't pass through to the recipient. Otherwise fine. I suspect it's a Windows issue.

this doesn't work anymore; google removed the settings.

This tutorial was so simple and straightforward. Super helpful. AND it worked!! Thanks, will be sure to check out your other videos.

Corey, i have some problems running the code if I write it as shown, but when copied to my VS it does ran great. Thank you for this great tutorial.

Thank you, this clarified some questions.

I have just found this video but it looks like lesssecureapps is no longer available from Google. Can I still use Python to send Gmail emails?

Thanks a lot, It is just splendid explanation.

Hi! How can I call the last excel file of a folder? the most recent that i already generated by python? ---> attach_file_name = '/i-want-only-the-last-excel-from-the-folder.xlsx'
attach_file = open(attach_file_name, 'rb')? any clue?

I loved this one, it seems so simple to send emails here.

why my message goes to spam folder, and how to fix it ?

when using gmail: no longer supported as of May 30th, 2022

Is there a way we can add python script between like html? For eg like we have a whole text and we have to change some two values inside the html ? Is it possible

you explained things very nicely!

Bro! how you set the email as important email?(priority)

@Corey Schafer
Thanx for posting such a comprehensive vid. None of the other videos on email via Python touched on Google settings regarding 2-step or TLS.

AMAZING

On our RHEOS systems I am able to use /usr/sbin/sendmail or /bin/mailx to send simple plain text emails or even attachments. I am not logging in to a remote server ( that i know of ) to make this happen and yet I can send these messages. How can I access that same "pathway" using python and smtplib? I was able to send the emails as instructed using the 'localhost' but have not been able to send to other recipients. These machines are company machines and so I do not want to create an account with gmail or outlook to do this if possible.

Thanks for the tut, as always it's very informative and explanatory.
You covered all but html content is visible in the mail and not the plain text which you set by msg.set_content("This is a plain text email") in the line 16. Would you please explain, I'm stuck at that point since 2 days.

Outdated for 2022, smtp is not allowed as secure access in google...

It might be a REAL GOOD IDEA to post the code
So we don't need to pry it out of that github mess.

Hey, man is it possible to send outlook emails using smtp?

hi ı have a issue when ı was writing my file path .According to the internet i ve written correct but for ATOM accepted if I only write full absolute path starting ffrom "C:".And it is so unfit could you hepl me ?

Hey great video. Is there any way to attach a mp4 file?

You can no longer use this method from gmail

thank you for this amazing video

Does all the email I send to has to have an app password? Because it ain't working!
It only works for the email I use to send with!

FROM GOOGLE: To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022, ​​Google no longer supports the use of third-party Fapps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

Important: This deadline does not apply to Google Workspace or Google Cloud Identity customers. The enforcement date for these customers will be announced on the Workspace blog at a later date.

Hey Corey!
Recently google has blocked all 3rd party access and this method has started showing errror..
Do you suggest any other ways of sending email from python?
Thanks!

works like a charm, thank you

This is sooo amazing and helpful thank you so much ❤️✨

Great video, Corey! I am a total newbie to Python, and you made this so easy to follow. Could you possibly create a video or point me towards a resource where a Python script is used to send an HTML email with variable data from a SQL query? For example, if I wanted to email a simple summary report with the sum of deposit balances, deposit counts, loan balances, and loan counts with HTML formatting, could this be done with a Python script?

how o genarate emails with fixed date automaticly

Great video... just want to know is it possible to send email to 100 or more people in same time?
