I would like to create an hyperlink in the body of a task created through win32com.
This is my code so far:
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
outlook_task_item = 3
recipient = "my_email#site.com"
task = outlook.CreateItem(outlook_task_item)
task.Subject = "hello world"
task.Body = "please update the file here"
task.DueDate = dt.datetime.today()
task.ReminderTime = dt.datetime.today()
task.ReminderSet = True
task.Save()
I have tried to set the property task.HTMLBody but I get the error:
AttributeError: Property 'CreateItem.HTMLBody' can not be set.
I have also tried
task.Body = "Here is the <a href='http://www.python.org'>link</a> I need"
but I am not getting a proper hyperlink.
However if I create a task front end in Outlook, I am able to add hyperlinks.
You can also try:
task.HTMLBody = "Here is the <a href='http://www.python.org'>link</a> I need"
this will overwrite data in 'task.Body' to the HTML format provides in 'task.HTMLBody'
so whichever (Body or HTMLBody) is last will be taken as the Body of the mail.
Tasks do not support HTML. Instead, you have to provide RTF.
You can investigate -- but not set -- the RTF of a given task through task.RTFBody (and task.RTFBody.obj to get a convenient view of it). To use RTF in the body of a task, simply use the task.Body property; setting this to a byte array containing RTF will automatically use that RTF in the body. Concretely, to get the body you want, you could let
task.Body = rb'{\rtf1{Here is the }{\field{\*\fldinst { HYPERLINK "https://www.python.org" }}{\fldrslt {link}}}{ I need}}'

I'm trying to automatize Outlook with python with win32com.client in python.
I have already a Macro that creates me a email, with all the subject and attached files.
The problem is that when I try to automatize it with Python, i don't know how to select the window that the macro open with all the info, and put the address to whom i want to send.
Example:
I want to send it to "Albert" all the emails that has number "1234" in attach files.
Also, i get error " AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'To' "
outlook = win32.dynamic.Dispatch('Outlook.Application')
namespace = outlook.GetNameSpace('MAPI')
mail = outlook.ActiveWindow().Display()
print(type(mail))
mail. To = "Albert#gmail.com"
mail. Send()
Code from VBA is : (i deleted some details that are not important)
'Generate MailID
strMailID = GenerateMailID
'Generate xls file
strFileName =Environ$("temp") & "/file directory"
'Create mail and attach xls file
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.Subject = "DETAILS FROM EXCEL "
.HTMLBody = "DETAIILS "
.Attachments.Add strFileName
.UserProperties.Add "MailID", 1, False, 1
.UserProperties("MailID") = strMailID
.Display
Firstly, Application.ActiveWindow will return either Explorer or Inspector object, and you only want the latter. The current inspector is returned by Application.ActiveInspector.
And once you have an Inspector object, use Inspector.CurrentItem to retrieve the message being composed.
Thirdly, if you alreay have code that creates the message, why not simply call MailItem.Display to show it to the user? And if the message is shown in an inspector, why do you need to call MailItem.Send instead of letting the user click the Send button when they are ready? You really need to post your code that creates the message.
I'm trying to write a Python script code wherein I’ll send email notifications to my team members on a daily basis.
There are two excel sheets, let's say abc.xlsx and def.xlsx.
I already have a script that updates these files and saves them. (These files abc and def are deleted and recreated with the same name but with updated information.)
Now my goal is to attach the file abc as an attachment in the mail and add the contents of def.xlsx in the email body.
I’m trying to achieve this:
Hello All,
Please find the pending lists here as follows:
///The info from def.xlsx sheet comes here///
Thanks and regards!
/// my outlook signature///
Here is my code:
import win32com.client as win32
import pandas as pd
# reading a file, which needs to be on mail body
df1 = pd.read_excel('def.xlsx')
html_table = df1.to_html(index=False)
outlook = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Outlook.Application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'mail#me.com'
mail.CC = 'mail#me.com'
mail.Subject = 'Test mail'
# path to signature should be User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\signature.htm
pathToIMage = r'path_to_my_signature'
attachment = mail.Attachments.Add(pathToIMage)
attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F", "MyId1")
# modify the mail body as per need
mail.Attachments.Add(Source="C:\..abc.xlsx")
body = "<p>Hi All, Please find the updates pending updates below:" + html_table + " <br>Thanks and regards <p> <figure><img src=""cid:MyId1""</figure>"
mail.HTMLBody = (body)
mail.Send()
Example:
This type of output I'm expecting
Challenges:
My signature will be a corrupted image with a "x" in it in the test email.
My Excel sheet, which has to be on the body, won't have the same format.
I’ve copied all the codes from Stack overflow only. I did some of my research, but I'm not getting the expected output.
First, you may try setting the BodyFormat property before setting up the HTMLBody property.
Second, to get the signature added to the message body you need to call the Display method before setting up the HTMLBody property.
Third, the <figure> element is not supported in Outlook because Word is used as an email editor and applies its own business rules to message bodies.
Fourth, the HTMLBody property returns or sets a string which represents the message body, it is expected to get or set a full-fledged well-formed HTML document. Try to set up a well-formed HTML document and then set up a property.
If you need to preserve formatting from Excel you may copy the table to the clipboard and then paste it using the Word object model.
Be aware, The Outlook object model supports three main ways of customizing the message body:
The Body property returns or sets a string representing the clear-text body of the Outlook item.
The HTMLBody property of the MailItem class returns or sets a string representing the HTML body of the specified item. Setting the HTMLBody property will always update the Body property immediately. For example:
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
'Creates a new e-mail item and modifies its properties.
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
'Create e-mail item
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMail
'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
End Sub
The Word object model can be used for dealing with message bodies. See Chapter 17: Working with Item Bodies for more information.
Note, the MailItem.BodyFormat property allows you to programmatically change the editor that is used for the body of an item.
I modified it. I'm still working on Challenge 2. I'll just go through the documentation that has been recommended and will share my final script.
import win32com.client as win32
import pandas as pd
import os
import codecs
df1 = pd.read_excel('mail_body.xlsx')
html_table = df1.to_html(index=False)
# below is the coding logic for signature
sig_files_path = 'AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\\' + 'signature_file_name' + '_files\\'
sig_html_path = 'AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\\' + 'signature_file_name' + '.htm'
signature_path = os.path.join((os.environ['USERPROFILE']), sig_files_path)
html_doc = os.path.join((os.environ['USERPROFILE']), sig_html_path)
html_doc = html_doc.replace('\\\\', '\\')
html_file = codecs.open(html_doc, 'r', 'utf-8', errors='ignore')
signature_code = html_file.read()
signature_code = signature_code.replace(('signature_file_name' + '_files/'), signature_path)
html_file.close()
outlook = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Outlook.Application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'mail#me.com'
mail.CC = 'mail#me.com'
mail.Subject = 'TEST EMAIL'
mail.Attachments.Add(Source=r"C:\..abc.xlsx")
# modify the mail body as per need
mail.BodyFormat = 2
body = "<p>Hi All, Please find the updates pending updates below:" + html_table + " <br>Thanks and regards <br><br>"
mail.Display()
mail.HTMLBody = body + signature_code
mail.Send()
I am reading .txt file in Python code and I should get the same mail body what I have in my text file.
It is working fine but hyperlinks not displayed in my outlook email, it displays only as text in outlook email.
Below is the code:
Mail_Content = open("MailBody.txt","r")
Read_Content = Mail_Content.read()
In the text file , passing content like this for hyperlink:
linkname,'html'
Please help me out, I am trying to fix this from last two days.
Firstly, you really need to show the code that sets the message body. Secondly, make sure you set the MailItem.HTMLBody rather than the plaintext MailItem.Body.
Make sure the BodyFormat property is set up correctly before setting the HTMLBody property in the code, for example, here is a VBA sample which shows how to set up it properly:
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
'Creates a new email item and modifies its properties.
Dim objMail As MailItem
'Create mail item
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMail
'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><H2>The body of this message will appear in HTML.</H2><BODY>Type the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
End Sub
I'm trying to copy a specific line from the mail body but I don't know how to do that.
I thought regex could solve my problem but didn't know how to implement it again.
mail body:
Line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
line6 - File Name
line7 - count
I want only want to copy the File Name & paste it into an excel file.
import pandas as pd
import win32com.client as client
outlook = cliet.Dispaatch("Outlook.Application"),GetNameSpace("MAPI")
prod_path = outlook.Folders("emailId").Folders[1].Items
#print(prod_path.FolderPath)
mailbox = mailbox.Restrict("#SQL=(urn:schemas:httmail:subject like 'subject')")
listofmails = []
for mail in mailbox:
listofmails.append(mail.body)
#print(mail.body)
The Outlook object model supports three main ways of dealing with the message body:
The Body property returns or sets a string representing the clear-text body of the Outlook item.
The HTMLBody property of the MailItem class returns or sets a string representing the HTML body of the specified item. Setting the HTMLBody property will always update the Body property immediately. For example:
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
'Creates a new e-mail item and modifies its properties.
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
'Create e-mail item
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMail
'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
End Sub
The Word object model can be used for dealing with message bodies. See Chapter 17: Working with Item Bodies for more information.
So, you can use the Word object model to find out the line of text required for you.
I am using Python to read the Enron email dataset. I have the emails in text files. I would like to read the text files and extract only the "Body" section of each email. I am not concerned about any other FROM, TO, BCC, attachments, DATE, etc. I only want the BODY section and would like to store it in a list. I tried to use the get_payload() function, but it still prints everything. How do I skip the other content and use only the Body section?
import email.parser
from email.parser import Parser
# Code to extract a particular section from raw emails.
parser = Parser()
text1 = open("path of the file", "r").read()
msg = email.message_from_string(text1)
email = parser.parsestr(text1)
if msg.is_multipart():
for payload in msg.get_payload():
print payload.get_payload()
else:
print msg.get_payload()
One file may contain multiple emails. Sample emails.
docID: 1
segmentNumber: 0
Body: I just checked with Carolyn on your invoicing for the conference. She
verified the 85K was processed.
##########################################################
docID: 2

Body: null
##########################################################
docID: 3
segmentNumber: 0
Body: In regard to the costs for the GAM conference, Karen told me the $ 6,695.97
figure was inclusive of all the items for the conference. However, after
speaking with Shweta, I found out this is not the case. The CDs are not
included in this figure.
The CD cost will be $2,011.50 + the cost of postage/handling (which is
currently being tabulated).
##########################################################
docID: 3
segmentNumber: 1
Body:
This is the original quote for this project and it did not include the
postage. As soon as I have the details from the vendor, I'll forward those to
you.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Assuming all your files has the format specified in your example, this might work:
email_body_list = [ email.split('Body:')[-1] for email in file_content.split('##########################################################')]
