EXTREMELY HELPFUL, CLEAR AND EASY TO FOLLOW!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@David-qd4it]

This was really straightforward and simple. Pls keep posting! We need more youtubers like you

[@ClarityCoders]

Thanks David! I appreciate the view.

[@mitchelldyer5415]

Thanks for posting! I want to use this to send myself motivational texts throughout the day:) Next step, making the script that runs through the day!

[@ClarityCoders]

That's actually a really cool use case. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.

[@joemckenzie4454]

I was thinking the same type of thing... how would you make it choose a message at random?

[@mitchelldyer5415]

@@joemckenzie4454 you could have a dictionary or array of messages saved as a variable. Then call an imported library that generates a random number. Then pass that number into the array!

Hey Jake, you're a really good teacher. This is a wonderful code that is so useful and easy to learn and use. I immediately got it to work thanks to your clear and easy-to-follow instructions! 👍Thank you & Sub'd!

[@FastingDude]

This was amazing. I created a quick script to remind me (text and email) to give the pills to my dog. I created a table in my database with the dates and the number of pills he needs on a given day. Put that into a dataframe so the message is always dynamic! Thanks again...just subbed.

[@BritainW3llz]

Excellent tutorial - in the future, you can avoid showing passwords in plain text by setting the variables to input() functions and then cutting off the terminal when running the code and entering your password.

[@code-grammardude5974]

you are awesome

[@esj110]

Really cool video and appreciate your creating it so easily. This is exactly what I was looking for. It would be great if you can share how to send the text message to multiple users /customers to share important updates like sales and promotions. Hopefully you don't need to know all their carriers info to set them up. Also, would be great if you can show how to integrate into an iOS application

[@ClarityCoders]

Thanks for watching and really great suggestions. I will look into them!

[@Rubbernecker]

Awesome!!!

[@rohanramesh100]

Hey thank you for making this video. For some reason the emails are not being sent in my case. This is the message I see every time I run my python job : "Process finished with exit code 0" which means it ran successfully I guess.. I did all the settings you showed in the video but no luck!

You can also consider Slack to send alerts.

How would you make a script to allow others to join the text or email alerts? Such as a stock alert to subscribed members. Thank you for your videos!!

You could work it into a Flask web app or really any other project depending on the situation.

I want to send text messages to a lot of customers, so my question is, would this work for many customers, sending them text messages alerts? Is this service provided for all countries

[@keremy150]

Is there any way a chance to get an alert from a closed page with login required? There's no notification from uni when grades are getting published and I therefore constantly check everyday. Can this be solved the same way with python?

[@bradstrange1374]

I could be a bit late to reply but I would suggest using the selenium module. You can manage chrome tabs (and other browsers) headlessly (without actually rendering it) and you would just have to make a script that logs you in, scrapes the page for data needed (your grades as mentioned), and use the guide in the video to send that data.

Could you explain what the msg['from'] does? It seems like no matter what I put for this, the message is not affected in any way.

I dont think it will change anything on an sms message. on an email it should change the from but Gmail may overwrite that with the actual email address.
