# mailing
|
|
|
|
Mail your Mastodon server inactive users and track their feedback.
|
|
|
|
This code written in Python get all more than a year inactive users from Mastodon's database and email them with the subject and message of your choice.
|
|
Then, inactive users data is stored into new created Postgresql database to track feedback and status.
|
|
Run mailing.py periodically to catch 'new' inactive users and uptade the elapsed days of the already emailed ones.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- **Python 3**
|
|
- Postgresql server
|
|
- Everything else at the top of `mailing.py`!
|
|
|
|
### Usage:
|
|
|
|
Within Python Virtual Environment:
|
|
|
|
1. Run 'db-setup.py' to set database parameters and create needed database and table. All collected data of inactive users (see point 3) will be written there.
|
|
|
|
2. Run 'setup.py' to set your SMTP parameters and desired email subject. They will be saved to 'secrets/secrets.txt' for further use.
|
|
|
|
3. Run 'mailing.py' to start emailing your inactive users (last sign in at older that a year). Their username, account_id, email, delivery status (True if successful) and delivery date will be written to Postgresql database. There is another column, 'deleted', False by default. Will be useful to track deleted/not deleted inactive users if you choose to do so.
|
|
|
|
4. Use your favourite scheduling method to set mailing.py to run regularly. Column 'elapsed_days' of mailing's database will be updated so you can decide actions after some time.
