Automating Email Marketing with Python heading into 2024 with Ai

Please don’t tell me you are still manually sending out emails to your subscribers. Do you want to automate your email marketing process to save time and increase efficiency? Look no further than Python! With Python’s built-in smtplib module, you can easily automate your email marketing process and send out personalized emails to your subscribers. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up your email message, connecting to the SMTP server, and sending out your email. We’ll also provide you with code examples and additional resources to help you get started. So, let’s dive in and start automating your email marketing with Python!

I have created a step-by-step guide to sending emails with Python using smtplib, check it out!

Firstly we need to import the necessary libraries –

				
					import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
				
			

Set up the email message:

				
					msg = EmailMessage()
msg['Subject'] = 'Subject of the email'
msg['From'] = 'sender@example.com'
msg['To'] = 'recipient@example.com'
msg.set_content('Body of the email')
				
			

Set up the SMTP server:

				
					smtp_server = 'smtp.gmail.com'
port = 587
username = 'sender@example.com'
password = 'password'
				
			

Connect to the SMTP server and send the email:

				
					with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port) as server:
    server.starttls()
    server.login(username, password)
    server.send_message(msg)
				
			

This code will send an email with a subject, body, and sender and recipient addresses. You will need to replace the placeholders with your own information, such as the SMTP server, port, username, and password.
For the complete project, head over to my GitHub page, where you will be able to copy or download the project as a starting point and add more functionality, such as sending emails to multiple recipients, adding attachments, or using a CSV file to send personalized emails. You can also use third-party libraries to simplify the process.
