# Mass_Email_Unique_Attachments
|
||
|
|
Sends mails to a list of addresses, with different attachments.
|
||
|
|
Useful for mailing personalized certificates, layoff letters and wedding invitations.
|
||
|
|
Reads data from a CSV file with email addresses and the names of the files which are to be sent as attachments.
|
||
|
|
# Setup
|
||
|
|
- Create a folder containing all attachments which are to be sent
|
||
|
|
- Create a CSV file with two columns, the name of the attachment file, and the mail address of the receiver
|
||
|
|
- Add the path of the folder and CSV file in your script
|
||
|
|
# Usage
|
||
|
|
There are two scripts, the native script will use the Outlook or Windows Mail to send the mails. The mails will be sent from your currently logged-in mail id. This script is suitable for Windows.
|
||
|
|
The SMTP script allows you to setup a SMTP server to send mails. Follow the comment instructions in the script to setup an SMTP server. This requires you to allow alternative sign-in from your email provider.
|
||
|
|
The `smtp_server` depends on which mail provider you are using. Common servers for major providers are:
|
||
|
|
- Yahoo!
|
||
|
|
- smtp.mail.yahoo.com
|
||
|
|
- Gmail
|
||
|
|
- smtp.gmail.com
|
||
|
|
- Outlook
|
||
|
|
- smtp.office365.com / smtp-mail.outlook.com
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The password to be entered in `smtp_password` is generated from your email provider settings.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first script is suitable for users who don't wish to setup an SMTP server, or don't want to generate a less secure key.

|
# Alteration
|
||
|
|
You can modify the code to change the type of attachments being sent, for example instead of PDFs, you can send Word documents by changing the `pdf_file_name = row['name'] + '.pdf'` to `pdf_file_name = row['name'] + '.docx'`. For images, use .png, .jpg, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also comment out the CC option if you don't wish to CC the mail to anyone.
