Business Automation Process Project Documentation.
Overview This project implements a business automation process that utilizes Python to send automated email reminders based on a predefined schedule. It leverages the schedule library for task scheduling, the smtplib library for sending emails,and the requests library for making HTTP requests.
Features
- Daily Email Reminders: Sends a daily reminder email at 8:00 AM.
- Weekly Email Reminders: Sends reminders every Monday and Thursday at 10:00 AM.
- Monthly Email Reminders: Sends a reminder on the 15th of each month at 9:00 AM.
Requirements To run this project, ensure you have the following Python packages installed:
-
pip install schedule requests
Code Snippets Import Required Libraries: import schedule import time import smtplib import requests
Email Configuration Define the email sender and recipient information:
sender_email = '[email protected]' sender_password = 'senderpassword' recipient_email = '[email protected]'
Email Sending Function This function sends an email using SMTP: HTTP Request Function This function makes HTTP GET requests:
HTTP Request Function This function makes HTTP GET requests:
def make_http_request(url, header={}): try: response = requests.get(url, headers=header) response.raise_for_status() return response.json() except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: print(f'An error occurred while making the request: {e}') return None
Main Function to Schedule Tasks The main function schedules tasks to run at specified times:
def main(): # Schedule the task to run every day at 8:00 AM schedule.every().day.at("08:00").do(send_email, recipient_email, 'Daily Task', 'This is a daily task reminder.')
# Schedule the task to run every week on Mondays and Thursdays at 10:00 AM
schedule.every().week.at("Monday, 10:00").do(send_email, recipient_email, 'Weekly Task', 'This is a weekly task reminder.')
schedule.every().week.at("Thursday, 10:00").do(send_email, recipient_email, 'Weekly Task', 'This is a weekly task reminder.')
# Schedule the task to run every month on the 15th at 9:00 AM
schedule.every().month.on("15").at("09:00").do(send_email, recipient_email, 'Monthly Task', 'This is a monthly task reminder.')
while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)
main()
How to Run Update the email configuration with your actual sender and recipient details. Ensure that your SMTP server settings are correctly configured. Run the script in your Python environment:
python your_script_name.py
Conclusion This business automation process project provides a simple yet effective way to manage reminders through automated emails. By utilizing Python's scheduling capabilities alongside email functionalities, users can streamline their daily operations and ensure timely communication.
