Customization

Auto Announcements is designed to be highly customizable. The send and receive addresses can be changed, as well as the message body.

All of these instructions require a text editor to be installed.

Force the Same Sender

The bot can be configured to always use the same send email address every time it is run, rather than manually asking. To enable this, follow these steps:

1. Line 8: Replace the input('YOUR email address:') with the email address that the bot should always send from.
2. Line 9: Remove the # replace above with your email address for direct delivery comment.

Force the Same Recipient

The bot can also be configured to always use the same recipient address every time it is run, rather than manually asking. To enable this, follow these steps:

1. Line 10: Replace the input('RECIPIENT\'s email address:') with the email address that the bot should always send to.
2. Line 11: Remove the # replace above with the recipients email address for direct delivery comment.

Change the Message Body

This bot supports sending an HTML formatted email message. To change the email message that is sent each time it is run, follow these steps:

1. Line 18: Remove the <h1>A Heading</h1><p>Hello There!</p> text between the two apostrophes ('...').
2. Replace this text with a single line of HTML code for your email message. If the email message is longer than a single line, just ensure the code is minified to fit on one line.
