1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,740 In this video, we are going to create a script that sends a single email from one email address to 2 00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:09,210 another email address. 3 00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:17,490 So I am inside the ripple here, inside this empty folder, and I'm going to create a new repo using 4 00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:22,290 Python as a programming language and give a meaningful name. 5 00:00:24,860 --> 00:00:25,690 To my report. 6 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,380 Create. 7 00:00:28,930 --> 00:00:30,910 And this is the repeal environment. 8 00:00:30,940 --> 00:00:33,610 I will work on just a friendly reminder. 9 00:00:33,610 --> 00:00:40,000 If you enter this, you are in your browser with the hash main, that's p port. 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:46,270 Then you can fork this a ripple to have the same environment as me in a ripple. 11 00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:47,680 And then you can start coding. 12 00:00:48,670 --> 00:00:58,150 And if you add dash done at the end of the URL, you will have access to the wrapper with the completed 13 00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:58,570 code. 14 00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:01,720 That ripple is also fungible. 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,060 So you can for kids, you can copy it and use it as it is and let's start coding. 16 00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:14,350 But before, let me make sure that you understand how sending emails works in our daily life. 17 00:01:14,350 --> 00:01:20,680 We use things like Gmail or Outlook or other email clients. 18 00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:23,080 So these are email clients. 19 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:31,030 They are apps, desktop apps or web apps which allow us to see our emails and also sends out and receive 20 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:31,570 emails. 21 00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:39,670 Now these email clients, these applications, they use a protocol calls SMTP. 22 00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:47,890 So simple mail transfer protocol SMTP makes it possible to send and receive emails. 23 00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:57,280 So when we want to create a Python app that sends out emails, we need to use SMTP as well, just like 24 00:01:57,370 --> 00:02:00,100 these other email clients do. 25 00:02:00,130 --> 00:02:11,230 And to use SMTP, you need to use a package which basically offers us an c p python object to configure. 26 00:02:11,650 --> 00:02:14,380 So we're going to use your Gmail. 27 00:02:14,530 --> 00:02:15,370 Let's install it. 28 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,580 Why a gmail? 29 00:02:20,530 --> 00:02:28,540 So as the name suggests, this package works only to send out emails from a Gmail account. 30 00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:32,890 Therefore, I expect that you have a Gmail account open already. 31 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:42,210 As we wait for the installation to complete, I'm going to import your Gmail right now that it is installed. 32 00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:48,580 We have that in our namespace so we can use on the fly code introspection. 33 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:57,590 Before we do anything, let's prepare some variables where we stole the email information, which is 34 00:02:57,590 --> 00:03:05,020 the sender email address, the receiver email address, the subject of the email and the content of 35 00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:05,620 the email. 36 00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:08,680 So Sender will be. 37 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:16,020 In my case, I have created a throwaway email account on Gmail just for this app. 38 00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:20,050 The name is a bit strange, but it's an email address. 39 00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:22,060 The receiver. 40 00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:28,030 The receiver is going to be a temporary email account that I can get from this site. 41 00:03:28,570 --> 00:03:31,150 Drop mail dot any. 42 00:03:31,180 --> 00:03:43,180 So this is my disposable email address going to copied and pasted in the receiver variable, the subject 43 00:03:43,180 --> 00:03:43,930 of the email. 44 00:03:47,290 --> 00:03:51,370 So that should do it the contents of the email. 45 00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:58,660 This makes sense to be a multi-line string since this would be a long text split. 46 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,650 And here is the contents of the all the email. 47 00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:06,640 Hi. 48 00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:10,560 So that's the text of the email body. 49 00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:22,210 Once we have these, we want to create an empty P object instance using the s and t p class which takes 50 00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:25,600 as arguments a user so the user is the sender. 51 00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:37,210 If passwords also, it's not a good idea to write passwords in plain python code because others may 52 00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:38,110 see them. 53 00:04:38,110 --> 00:04:46,960 So it's safer as we are earning a repo, it's safer to store them as environment variables. 54 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:56,860 So you go to this key icon here, press that you have some information here which says that you can 55 00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:59,170 hide passwords using this tool. 56 00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:08,620 Key is basically the name that we will be using from our Python code to refer to the actual password, 57 00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:10,300 which we're going to store in here. 58 00:05:10,750 --> 00:05:15,820 So key, it makes sense to have this under the name passwords. 59 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:24,850 Usually we use capital letters for these keys, and the actual passwords has to be a Gmail app passwords. 60 00:05:25,060 --> 00:05:31,090 The normal Gmail passwords that you use to log in to your Gmail account will not work here. 61 00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:35,800 So you need to create a Gmail app passwords for that. 62 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:43,300 You need to go to your Gmail account, then go to your manage your Google account button. 63 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:52,040 So there you see the settings of your account and you want to go to security and then you want to scroll 64 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,500 down to signing to queue. 65 00:05:54,770 --> 00:06:03,350 And then first you want to turn on two step verification if if that is turned off, so get started to 66 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:04,010 turn it on. 67 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,230 You need to enter a phone number here to be able to turn on two step verification. 68 00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:25,850 So turn on two step verification, then go back to the security page and then down here below to simplification, 69 00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:28,350 you should normally see this app password section. 70 00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:29,580 You want to click there. 71 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:33,190 Answer the password of your Gmail account again. 72 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,520 And then you want to create an app here. 73 00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:45,460 So select app you can choose either puts a name for your app. 74 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,920 Like Python automation generates. 75 00:06:51,580 --> 00:06:57,310 And what you see here is going to be your app passwords with all the spaces. 76 00:06:57,310 --> 00:07:00,000 So please note without the spaces. 77 00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:04,030 So you want to copy that and go back to rappel. 78 00:07:05,610 --> 00:07:09,210 And you want to paste that password in this box here. 79 00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:19,640 Press adds new secrets and that key value secret is added. 80 00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:28,900 The way to use it now is by first importing the OS library, which gives you access to always that gets. 81 00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:33,830 And so you see this method now expects a key. 82 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:34,630 Yes argument. 83 00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:37,570 The key has to come as a string. 84 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,720 So that is pass words. 85 00:07:41,950 --> 00:07:43,330 The name of my key. 86 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:44,600 Right. 87 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:52,070 So the user, which is a sensor, the passwords of that sensor email address. 88 00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:59,060 And so now we read it's who sends out this email to whom. 89 00:08:00,020 --> 00:08:02,480 Well, we have this two arguments here. 90 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:09,830 So two is equal to a string, which in our case is stored in this receiver variable. 91 00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:12,950 So I'm just going to paste that receiver variable there. 92 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,210 What else do we have? 93 00:08:14,210 --> 00:08:18,290 Subjects subject is equal to that's valuable. 94 00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:20,270 So copy that piece of two. 95 00:08:21,620 --> 00:08:29,480 And what else contents is equal to that contents of variable copy pasted there. 96 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:36,320 And these are all the arguments we need to pass to be able to send out an email. 97 00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:46,220 Lastly, I'm just going to putting out a message here on the command line just to visually see that's 98 00:08:46,490 --> 00:08:53,030 the script actually Iran and Iran email sent. 99 00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:56,840 Let's check this email address now. 100 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:06,440 So the receiver, which is this temporary email address and yes, we did receive an email, here is 101 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,630 the contents of the email. 102 00:09:09,410 --> 00:09:09,890 Hi. 103 00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:15,120 Now if this email client doesn't show emails in a very nice way. 104 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,220 So that's why we see this email tax here. 105 00:09:20,010 --> 00:09:22,920 But we did receive the email successfully. 106 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,860 Thank you for watching this video and please go to the next one and I'll talk to you there.
