This extensions allows Helium Scraper to send emails from most email providers and optionally attach files. To install it, just download the attached file and double click it, or install it at
File -> Extensions. After installed, a new Wizard item will appear at
Wizard -> Mailer -> Send. Since this is an action, it must be used within a global that contains other actions. For instance, to send an email after an extraction completes, add an
Action.Extract that extracts the
Main global into the
Main table:
Then, add a placeholder, right click it and select
Wizard -> Mailer -> Send. Keep the name as is, and press
Next. On the next screen, and enter a Host, Port and set of Credentials. The default host and port are for Gmail. Then press
Next again and fill up the email details. An attachment location can be selected to attach all files in either the
Downloads or
Exports folder of the current project. The final global will end up looking something like this:
Code: Select all
Action.Extract
· Main
· "Main"
Send
· "example@outlook.com"
· "The Subject"
· "The Message"
· "None"
Note that in order to send from Gmail, the
less secure app access Gmail setting must be enabled for your account.
The following example clears the
Main table set, then extracts
Main and sends the data as an Excel file to
example@outlook.com:
Code: Select all
Action.ClearData
· "Main"
Action.Extract
· Main
· "Main"
Action.ExportData
· "Main"
· "results.xlsx"
· true
Send
· "example@outlook.com"
· "The Subject"
· "The Message"
· "Exports"
Note that, after
Wizard -> Mailer -> Send has been used once in a project, the
Wizard -> Send item will be added to the project and selecting this will allow you to send additional emails without having to enter your credentials again.
