python -m venv env- Install the dependencies
pip install requirements.txtYou can generate certificates for your attendees by running the script:
python app.py [--dry-run] [--from-txt]By default, the tool will generate certificates for all the attendees in a file called attendees.csv (available from the Teams attendance report) with the following structure:
1. Summary
Meeting title Title
Attended participants 10
Start time 21/10/22 12:00:00
End time 21/10/22 03:00:00
Meeting duration 3h 0m 0s
Average attendance time 3h 0m 0s
2. Participants
Name First join Last leave In-meeting duration Email Participant ID (UPN) Role
...
3. In-Meeting activities
Name Join time Leave time Duration Email Role
...
or from an attendees.txt file, with a simpler format for in-person events:
Full Name 10001
...where the number represents the student ID, used for later sending the certificates via email.
A number of configuration options are available in the config.py file, including some path variables and the email template.
After successfully retrieving a list of names and emails from any of the previous sources, the tool will generate a certificate for each attendee and save it in the certificates folder by default.
An SMTP server is then used to send the certificates to the attendees via email, with the credentials provided in the .env file.
Always verify the output before sending the emails to your attendees using the --dry-run flag to avoid spam.
