8. The following step is to choose the service we need to utilize for our actions. For this tutorial, we are going be making utilize of the “Email” service.

. We got to look up “Email” within the look box. When the “Email” service pops up, click its screenshot below.

9. Now we have to be select an action provided by this service. In this case, we need to send a basic Email to the IFTTT app screenshot below,

10. now click Create an action No need any change now screenshot below

11. Now, click the “Finish” button screenshot below

12. Now-Again Back on the webhooks page, click the “Documentation” Option within the best right-hand corner of the screen. Clicking this will take us to the screen were ready to find the API keys we require screenshot below.

That’s it—the recipe is now live, and once the Raspberry Pi is prepared to send web requests to it, it'll start emailing.

≡ Preparing your Raspberry Pi for this project:

In this section, we'll be showing you how to Raspberry Pi for this project. if you First-time run project you have to need to update your raspberry pi You'll do this by running the following commands.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Now you have to need library install for this project You'll do this by running the following commands.

pip install urllib3

Or
sudo apt-get install urllib2

≡ Code Raspberry Pi Email send IFTTT:

The Python program to send the web request

import time, os, urllib, urllib2

MAX_TEMP = 37.0
MIN_T_BETWEEN_WARNINGS = 60 # Minutes

EVENT = 'raspberry'
BASE_URL = 'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/'
KEY = 'hLTwmMC3A5J9KnUXwoITVfHEJ2d5eVpvcNsqi85OhDA'

def send_notification(temp):
    data = urllib.urlencode({'value1' : str(temp)})
    url = BASE_URL + EVENT + '/with/key/' + KEY
    response = urllib2.urlopen(url=url, data=data)
    print(response.read())


def cpu_temp():
    dev = os.popen('/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp')
    cpu_temp = dev.read()[5:-3]
    return float(cpu_temp)
    
while True:
    temp = cpu_temp()
    print("CPU Temp (C): " + str(temp))
    if temp > MAX_TEMP:
        print("CPU TOO HOT!")
        send_notification(temp)
        print("No more notifications for: " + str(MIN_T_BETWEEN_WARNINGS) + 
" mins")
        time.sleep(MIN_T_BETWEEN_WARNINGS * 60)
    time.sleep(1)

Before running the program, you'll have to get an get to the key for the Maker Action channel by selecting Channels, and after that searching for Maker. Paste the key into email.py on the line that begins KEY= and then run the program using the screenshot below:
