Send Email (DOCX Body)

Sends emails using the content of a Word document (.docx) as the email body. Reads recipients from a CSV file.

Requirements


pip install python-docx

Setup

Update the variables at the top of the script:


smtp_server = "smtp.example.com"
smtp_port = 587
username = "your-username"
password = "your-password"
from_address = "sender@example.com"
subject = "Your Subject"
docx_file_path = "path/to/your/document.docx"

Usage


python send-email-import-docx-as-body.py

The script reads each paragraph from the DOCX file and joins them as the email body, then sends to each recipient in the CSV.

Script

# Email details
from_address = "from address"
