Forward zoom recording email to recipients a mailing list:
Use fwd_zoom.py. The class OutlookMailForwarder defined there has the capability to filter messages based on the
received time (a time window from now -- in hours), and to do string search in email subject and body. Additionaly,
a filter can be defined to change the body before sending the email. For example, in fwd_zoom.py:
def filter_zoom_mailbody(mailbody):
''' Returns the link to share. This filters out other info in the email such as the host-only link'''
m = re.search(r'Share recording with viewers:<br>\s*(.*)\b', mailbody)
return m.group(1)To run, you can either define your email[space]password in .cred or giveemail/password in stdin upon prompt.
NOTE: Do not forget to chmod 400 ./.cred if the former method is used.
Example 1: With existing .cred with contents [email protected] mypassword and a small time window:
./fwd_zoom.py
How many hours to llok back?1
(' > Signed in as [email protected]', ['LOGIN completed.'])
looking up pattern in 3/3 most recent emails in folder zoom
1 items match subject_pattern
1 items match subject_pattern and body_pattern
skipping email_id 213 because its timedelta 6:31:25.556269 is greater than 1 hours
Example 2: without a .cred file and a large-enough time window:
./fwd_zoom.py
Outlook email:[email protected]
Outlook Password:
How many hours to look back?10
(' > Signed in as [email protected]', ['LOGIN completed.'])
looking up pattern in 3/3 most recent emails in folder zoom
1 items match subject_pattern
1 items match subject_pattern and body_pattern
email_id 213 is within range (6:45:22.572372 < 10:00:00)
