FullSend

FullSend is an automated email service that helps the Purdue Electric Racing team manage mass communication in and around our organization. This was built using Microsoft Graph integration with our Purdue emails, and is only accessible to students who are verified to be on the Purdue Electric Racing team.

Prerequisites

  • Python version 3.5.2 or later.

Development environment

  • Create a new virtualenv: python3 -m venv venv
  • Activate: source venv/bin/activate
  • Install prerequisistes pip install -r requirements.txt

Register the app

Head over to https://apps.dev.microsoft.com to quickly get a application ID and password. Click the Sign in link and sign in with either your Microsoft account (Outlook.com), or your work or school account (Office 365).

Once you're signed in, click the Add an app button. Enter FullSend for the name and click Create application. After the app is created, locate the Application Secrets section, and click the Generate New Password button. Copy the password now and save it to a safe place. Once you've copied the password, click Ok.

Locate the Platforms section, and click Add Platform. Choose Web, then enter http://localhost:8000/mail/gettoken/ under Redirect URIs.

NOTE: The values in Redirect URIs are case-sensitive, so be sure to match the case!

Click Save to complete the registration. Copy the Application Id and save it along with the password you copied earlier. We'll need those values soon.

  1. Open the .\FullSend\authhelper.py file.
  2. Replace YOUR APP ID HERE with the Application Id from the registration you just created.
  3. Replace YOUR APP PASSWORD HERE with the password you copied earlier.
