In a previous video, I showed you how to send emails with Python. You only have to turn around to stand verification on Gmail and choose the script we built on that video. That’s the foundation to send emails with Python. Some of you had questions like how to attach files to the email or how to connect to a CSV file to send emails to multiple receivers. In this video, we’ll see how to do all of that using ChatGPT. This way, you’ll learn how to take your current script to the next level using ChatGPT’s code interpreter.
To get started, first, we have to upload our current script. So we go to ChatGPT and select code interpreter. Then we click on ‘upload file’ and select our Python file. In this case, it’s ‘send_emails.py’. You can find the script in the description below.
Once we have uploaded the script, we can use the following prompt: ‘I have a Python script that sends email, but it’s incomplete. Right now, it only sends a plain email. I’ll provide the Python file and a task to do, and you have to add more code to the script to carry out the task.’ Here, you can write the task you want to accomplish. For example, ‘I want to send an email with an attachment.’
After entering the prompt, ChatGPT will add the necessary code to your script to carry out the task. It will modify the Python script and provide you with a new file. You can choose to download the file or copy the code.
Once you have the modified script, you can run it. Make sure to update any file paths or variables as needed. If there are any errors, you can debug the code using the error message provided by ChatGPT.
In this video, we added the functionality to attach a file to the email. We also connected to a CSV file to send emails to multiple receivers. The CSV file contains information such as the receivers and the attachment that each receiver will get. By following the steps provided by ChatGPT, we were able to accomplish this task.
If you want to try a different task or add more functionality to your script, you can follow the same process. Just provide a new prompt and let ChatGPT modify your script accordingly.
That’s it for this video. Let me know in the comments if you’d like me to cover any other type of automation with ChatGPT. Stay tuned for the next video!
