Next Steps: Expand Your Fortune of the Day Project

You’ve built your first working workflow — congrats! 🎉
Now let’s explore how you can grow it into a full automation system.

​
1. Send Your Fortune via Email

Add a new node Send Email:

  1. Click Add Node in your project dashboard.
  2. Fill in the node details:
    • Node Name: Send Email
    • Run After Nodes: Select Log Fortune to ensure this node runs after the fortune is logged.
  3. Paste the following code into the editor:
import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
import waveassist

# Replace <your-uid-here> with your actual UID
waveassist.init('<your-uid-here>', 'daily-fortune')

# Fetch email credentials from the Data tab
# Note: If using Gmail, you may need to enable "App Passwords" or allow less secure apps.
# For more information, visit: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
email_user = 'your_email@gmail.com'
email_password = 'your_password'
recipient_email = 'recipient_email@gmail.com'

# Fetch the stored fortune from the Data tab
today_fortune = waveassist.fetch_data('today_fortune')

# Create the email message
msg = EmailMessage()
msg.set_content(f"Your Fortune: {today_fortune}")
msg["Subject"] = "Your Daily Fortune"
msg["From"] = email_user
msg["To"] = recipient_email

# Send the email
with smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587) as server:
    server.starttls()
    server.login(email_user, email_password)
    server.send_message(msg)

print("Email sent successfully!")
  1. Store your email credentials as variables in the Data section of the dashboard.
  2. Click Save.

​
2. Run and Re-Deploy

  1. Run your workflow by clickin on the play button of the first node and verify that you received the email successfully.
  2. Once confirmed, click Deploy to publish your updated workflow with version 0.0.2.

That’s it! You will now receive daily emails about your fortune from WaveAssist! 🎉
