Email Alerts Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

Use the smtplib library to send email notifications when the price drops below the threshold.

import smtplib

# Email configuration
EMAIL_ADDRESS = "your_email@example.com"
EMAIL_PASSWORD = "your_password"

def send_email_alert(product, price):
    subject = "Price Drop Alert!"
    body = f"The price of '{product}' has dropped to ${price}. Check it out here: {URL}"
    message = f"Subject: {subject}\n\n{body}"

    # Connect to the email server and send the email
    with smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587) as server:
        server.starttls()
        server.login(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_PASSWORD)
        server.sendmail(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_ADDRESS, message)

    print("Email alert sent!")
