Send automatic email as PDF attachement from data in excel

Copper Contributor

I have several sheets (sheet1, sheet2; sheet3, etc.).

I want to send the content of these sheets to different email addresses. For example

sheet1 to email1@email.email

sheet2 to email2@email.email

sheet3 to email3@email.email

etc...

Any help ?

@chamseddine_hamdeni You can try below codes to send individual sheets to separate emails. To understand codes better, I have divided it into 3 parts.

  1. Generate PDF files to insert to email as attachment. You can give sheet names to Split("Sheet1|Sheet2|Sheet3", "|") this array which you want to generate PDF files.
  2.  Send Emails. This will iterate each cells from A2 to downward and send emails to each cell value with attachment from this Split("Sheet1|Sheet2|Sheet3", "|") list of sheets. In this part of codes you can use .Send instead of .Display to send mail directly without displaying it. Testing purpose I have used .Display so that we can check it is generating emails correctly. To Send mails directly without any warning to must enable Programmatic Access to Outlook. Read below articles to enable it. Link 1: slipstick.com , Link 2 , Microsoft Documentation 
  3. Delete PDFs after sending mails (If anyone wish). Sample file is attached herewith.

Thank you @Harun24HR so much for your help... it is so much appreciated.

The PDF are successfully generated (although I don't know where are they stored, but no problem).

However, do I have to send them manually ?

please check the screenshot attached.Untitled.png

@chamseddine_hamdeni PDFs are stored in same folder where you keep the excel file (you can keep it to any location of hard disk or desktop or document folder). In vba code just delete .Display and write .Send, read codes comments carefully. Also if it helps then tick mark the answer.

@Harun24HR 

I have no enough words to thank you. Your code is working from the begining but It was my mistake I didn't read the comment.

You saved my life thank you so much. ALLAH YBARIKLIK

@Harun24HR

My friend, the VBA codes related to PDF are working perfectly. But when I click send emails I face the following problem:

Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action

It is not related with your code but with my settings... can you help me ?

this is a screenshot of my settings:

@chamseddine_hamdeni Did you enable Programmatic Access?

 

Harun24HR_0-1661049456370.png

 

@Harun24HR yes sir I did.

same error with .send  and .display

Your code was working perfectly. This error happened after I modified your code from sending 3 sheets to sending 20 sheets.

After that when I came back to 3 sheets it didn't work also.
