Autohotkey send e mail
A great idea!
AutoHotkey (AHK) is a powerful automation tool that can be used to send emails using various email clients. Here's a basic example of how you can use AHK to send an email using Outlook:
Script:
; Set the email client to Outlook
email_client = outlook
; Set the email recipient
recipient = [email protected]
; Set the email subject
subject = AutoHotkey Test Email
; Set the email body
body = This is a test email sent using AutoHotkey.
; Send the email
SendMail(email_client, recipient, subject, body)
; Function to send the email
SendMail(email_client, recipient, subject, body) {
; Start Outlook
Run, "outlook.exe"
; Wait for Outlook to start
Sleep, 2000
; Open the email composer
Send {F6} ; Focus on the email composer
Send {Enter} ; Open the email composer
; Fill in the recipient
Send {F6} ; Focus on the "To" field
Send %recipient%
; Fill in the subject
Send {F6} ; Focus on the "Subject" field
Send %subject%
; Fill in the body
Send {F6} ; Focus on the email body
Send %body%
; Send the email
Send {Enter} ; Send the email
; Close Outlook
Send {Alt+F4} ; Close Outlook
}
How it works:
- The script sets the email client to Outlook, the recipient, subject, and body of the email.
- The
SendMail
function is called, which starts Outlook, waits for it to start, and then opens the email composer. - The function fills in the recipient, subject, and body of the email using the
Send
command, which simulates keyboard input. - The function sends the email by pressing the Enter key.
- Finally, the function closes Outlook by pressing the Alt+F4 keys.
Note:
- This script assumes that Outlook is installed and configured on your system.
- You'll need to modify the script to match your specific email client and settings.
- This script is just a basic example and may not work as-is for all email clients or scenarios.
