Every business has tasks that eat up hours of human time — copying data between spreadsheets, sending follow-up emails, checking websites for changes, generating reports. Python Automation for Business teaches you to write scripts that handle these tasks reliably and on schedule, freeing your team to focus on work that actually requires human judgement.
You do not need to be a programmer to take this course. Each lesson starts with the fundamentals and builds toward a complete, reusable automation script. By the end of the week you will have a toolkit of scripts you can adapt to your own business processes and a scheduling system that runs them automatically.
What You'll Learn
Write Python scripts that automate repetitive data tasks
Scrape structured data from websites with BeautifulSoup and Requests
Automate browser interactions with Selenium for sites that require login
Send personalised bulk emails with attachments using smtplib
Read, transform, and write Excel and CSV files with openpyxl and pandas
Schedule scripts to run automatically with cron and Task Scheduler
