ezmail

Easily customise emails for each recipient. Made for non-programmers.

Requirements

• Python 3

Running the program

python send.py config.yaml

Customisation

You only have to modify three simple parts:

1. HTML file for the email body template.
2. CSV file for the contact list and their customised values.
3. YAML file for your smtp server details and other metadata.

HTML Template

An example of a simple HTML template is:

Hello ${name},
<br><br>
Congratulations! You won a ${medal} medal!

where name and medal will be substituted by the values in the csv file.

CSV File

The CSV file should at least contain the emails of the recipients. You can add other columns for names, age etc.

name,email,medal
alice,[email protected],Gold
bob,[email protected],Silver

The name and medal column will be substituted into the HTML placeholder.

Important: Header must contain an email column.
