Infobip Email Sender with File Attachment

This script demonstrates how to send emails with attachments using the Infobip Email API and Python's requests library.

Features

  • Send emails with custom HTML content.
  • Attach a file (e.g., a PDF receipt) to the email.
  • Specify the sender's name and email address.
  • Utilize Infobip's API for robust email delivery.

Prerequisites

  1. Infobip Account: Ensure you have an active Infobip account with access to the Email API.

  2. API Key: Obtain your Infobip API key from the Infobip Dashboard.

  3. Python Environment: The script is written in Python and requires the following modules:

    • requests
    • mimetypes
    • email.utils

    You can install the requests library using pip:

    pip install requests

  4. Email Setup:

    • Replace YOUR_API_KEY, YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS, and YOUR_EMAIL_FROM in the script with your actual Infobip API key, sender email address, and sender name.

  5. File to Attach: Ensure the file you wish to attach (receipt.pdf in this case) is located in the files/ directory.

Usage

  1. Clone or Download the Script Clone the repository or copy the script into your project directory.

  2. Modify Configuration Update the following variables in the script:

    API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
EMAILS_FROM_EMAIL = "YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS"
EMAILS_FROM_NAME = "YOUR_EMAIL_FROM"

  3. Run the Script Execute the script:

    python email_sender.py

  4. Check the Response The script prints the API response to the console. Verify that the email was sent successfully.

Code Overview

  • Form Data: The data dictionary contains fields such as from, to, subject, and html for email content.

  • File Attachment: The files dictionary includes the file to be attached. MIME type is determined automatically using the mimetypes module.

  • Request: A POST request is sent to the Infobip Email API with the form data, headers, and attachment.

Example HTML Email Content

The script sends the following email body as an example:

<html>
  <body>
    <h1 style="color: #754ffe;">Dear Recipient,</h1>
    <p>This is a <b>test message</b> from <i>Infobip</i>.</p>
    <p>Have a <span style="color: green;">great day!</span></p>
  </body>
</html>

Notes

  • Security: Never hard-code sensitive information such as API keys in your scripts. Use environment variables or a configuration file for secure storage.
  • Error Handling: Implement error handling for production use to capture and log API failures.
  • Attachments: Ensure the file path and MIME type are correct for the attachment.
