# Azure Communication Email client library for Python

This package contains a Python SDK for Azure Communication Services for Email.

## Key concepts

The Azure Communication Email package is used to send emails to multiple types of recipients.

## Getting started

### Prerequisites

You need an [Azure subscription][azure_sub], a [Communication Service Resource][communication_resource_docs], and an [Email Communication Resource][email_resource_docs] with an active [Domain][domain_overview].

To create these resource, you can use the [Azure Portal][communication_resource_create_portal], the [Azure PowerShell][communication_resource_create_power_shell], or the [.NET management client library][communication_resource_create_net].

### Installing

Install the Azure Communication Email client library for Python with [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/):

```bash
pip install azure-communication-email
```

## Examples

`EmailClient` provides the functionality to send email messages.

## Authentication

Email clients can be authenticated using the connection string acquired from an Azure Communication Resource in the [Azure Portal][azure_portal].

```python
from azure.communication.email import EmailClient

connection_string = "endpoint=https://<resource-name>.communication.azure.com/;accessKey=<Base64-Encoded-Key>"
client = EmailClient.from_connection_string(connection_string);
```

Alternatively, you can also use Active Directory authentication using DefaultAzureCredential.

```python
from azure.communication.email import EmailClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

# To use Azure Active Directory Authentication (DefaultAzureCredential) make sure to have AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET as env variables.
endpoint = "https://<resource-name>.communication.azure.com"
client = EmailClient(endpoint, DefaultAzureCredential())
```

Email clients can also be authenticated using an [AzureKeyCredential][azure-key-credential].

```python
from azure.communication.email import EmailClient
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential

credential = AzureKeyCredential("<api_key>")
endpoint = "https://<resource-name>.communication.azure.com/"
client = EmailClient(endpoint, credential);
```

### Send an Email Message

To send an email message, call the `begin_send` function from the `EmailClient`. This will return a poller. You can use this poller to check on the status of the operation and retrieve the result once it's finished.

```python
message = {
    "content": {
        "subject": "This is the subject",
        "plainText": "This is the body",
        "html": "html><h1>This is the body</h1></html>"
    },
    "recipients": {
        "to": [
            {
                "address": "customer@domain.com",
                "displayName": "Customer Name"
            }
        ]
    },
    "senderAddress": "sender@contoso.com"
}

poller = email_client.begin_send(message)
result = poller.result()
```

### Send an Email Message to Multiple Recipients

To send an email message to multiple recipients, add a object for each recipient type and an object for each recipient.

```python
message = {
    "content": {
        "subject": "This is the subject",
        "plainText": "This is the body",
        "html": "html><h1>This is the body</h1></html>"
    },
    "recipients": {
        "to": [
            {"address": "customer@domain.com", "displayName": "Customer Name"},
            {"address": "customer2@domain.com", "displayName": "Customer Name 2"}
        ],
        "cc": [
            {"address": "ccCustomer@domain.com", "displayName": "CC Customer Name"},
            {"address": "ccCustomer2@domain.com", "displayName": "CC Customer Name 2"}
        ],
        "bcc": [
            {"address": "bccCustomer@domain.com", "displayName": "BCC Customer Name"},
            {"address": "bccCustomer2@domain.com", "displayName": "BCC Customer Name 2"}
        ]
    },
    "senderAddress": "sender@contoso.com"
}

poller = email_client.begin_send(message)
result = poller.result()
```

### Send Email with Attachments

Azure Communication Services support sending email with attachments.

```python
import base64

with open("C://readme.txt", "r") as file:
    file_contents = file.read()

file_bytes_b64 = base64.b64encode(bytes(file_contents, 'utf-8'))

message = {
    "content": {
        "subject": "This is the subject",
        "plainText": "This is the body",
        "html": "html><h1>This is the body</h1></html>"
    },
    "recipients": {
        "to": [
            {
                "address": "customer@domain.com",
                "displayName": "Customer Name"
            }
        ]
    },
    "senderAddress": "sender@contoso.com",
    "attachments": [
        {
            "name": "attachment.txt",
            "attachmentType": "text/plain",
            "contentInBase64": file_bytes_b64.decode()
        }
    ]
}

poller = email_client.begin_send(message)
result = poller.result()
```

## Troubleshooting

Email operations will throw an exception if the request to the server fails. The Email client will raise exceptions defined in [Azure Core](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/sdk/core/azure-core/README.md).

```python
from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError

try:
    response = email_client.send(message)
except HttpResponseError as ex:
    print('Exception:')
    print(ex)
```

# Release History

## 1.0.0 (2023-03-31)

### Features Added
The public release of the Azure Communication Services SDK for Email has the following features:

- send emails with a variety of options (multiple recipients, attachments, etc.)
- poll for the status of the email that was sent to track its progress

## 1.0.0b2 (2023-03-01)

### Features Added
- Adding support for AAD token authentication
- Added the ability to specify the API version by an optional `api_version` keyword parameter.

### Breaking Changes
- Made the SDK Model-less. Objects are now constructed using a dictionary instead of a model.
- Reworked the SDK to follow the LRO (long running operation) approach. The 'begin_send' method returns a poller that can be used to check for the status of sending the email and retrieve the result. The return object has been adjusted to fit this approach. 
- The `get_send_status` method has been removed.
- The `sender` property has been changed to `senderAddress`.
- The `email` property under the recipient object has been changed to `address`.
- The `attachmentType` property under `attachments` has been changed to 'contentType'. This now accepts the attachment mime type.
- The `contentBytesBase64` property under `attachments` has been changed to `contentInBase64`
- Custom headers in the email message are now key/value pairs.
- The importance property was removed. Email importance can now be specified through either the `x-priority` or `x-msmail-priority` custom headers.

### Other Changes
Python 3.6 is no longer supported. Please use Python version 3.7 or later. For more details, please read our page on [Azure SDK for Python version support policy](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/wiki/Azure-SDKs-Python-version-support-policy).

## 1.0.0b1 (2022-08-09)

The first preview of the Azure Communication Email Client has the following features:

- send emails to multiple recipients with attachments
- get the status of a sent message
