Sure, I can provide you with a basic script to automate sending daily email reports in Python using the

`smtplib` library for sending emails and `schedule` library for scheduling tasks. Here's a step-by-step guide to
set it up:

1. **Install Required Libraries**:

Make sure you have `smtplib` and `schedule` installed. You can install them via pip:

```

pip install smtplib schedule

```

2. **Write the Script**:

Here's a basic script to send a daily email report:

```python

import smtplib

from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

from email.mime.text import MIMEText

import schedule

import datetime

def send_email():

# Set up SMTP server credentials

smtp_server = 'smtp.example.com'

smtp_port = 587

smtp_username = 'your_username'

smtp_password = 'your_password'

# Set up sender and recipient email addresses

sender_email = '[email protected]'

recipient_email = '[email protected]'
# Create message container

msg = MIMEMultipart()

msg['From'] = sender_email

msg['To'] = recipient_email

msg['Subject'] = 'Daily Report - ' + str(datetime.date.today())

# Write your email body here

body = "Insert your daily report content here."

# Attach the message body to the email

msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))

# Connect to SMTP server

server = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, smtp_port)

server.starttls()

# Login to SMTP server

server.login(smtp_username, smtp_password)

# Send email

server.send_message(msg)

# Quit SMTP server

server.quit()

# Schedule the email to be sent daily at a specific time

schedule.every().day.at("09:00").do(send_email)

while True:

schedule.run_pending()

```
3. **Configure Script**:

- Replace `'smtp.example.com'` with your SMTP server address.

- Replace `587` with your SMTP server port.

- Replace `'your_username'` and `'your_password'` with your SMTP server credentials.

- Replace `'[email protected]'` with your sender email address.

- Replace `'[email protected]'` with the recipient's email address.

- Adjust the email content and subject as needed.

4. **Run the Script**:

Save the script with a `.py` extension and run it using Python:

```

python your_script_name.py

```

5. **Ensure Continuity**:

Ensure that the script runs continuously, either by keeping it running in a terminal or by deploying it to a
server or cloud service that supports running Python scripts.

With this setup, the script will send a daily email report at the specified time each day. Make sure your SMTP
server allows sending emails programmatically and that you follow any security best practices for handling
passwords and sensitive information.
