Public Sub CheckAndSendMail()

Dim xRgDate As Range
Dim xRgSend As Range
Dim xRgText As Range
Dim xRgDone As Range
Dim xOutApp As Object
Dim xMailItem As Object
Dim xLastRow As Long
Dim vbCrLf As String
Dim xMailBody As String
Dim xRgDateVal As String
Dim xRgSendVal As String
Dim xMailSubject As String
Dim i As Long
On Error Resume Next
Set xRgDate = Application.InputBox("Please select the due date column:", "KuTools For Excel", , , , , , 8)
If xRgDate Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Set xRgSend = Application.InputBox("Please select the recipients?email column:", "KuTools For Excel", , , , , , 8)
If xRgSend Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Set xRgText = Application.InputBox("Select the column with reminded content in your email:", "KuTools For Excel", , , , , , 8)
If xRgText Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
xLastRow = xRgDate.Rows.count
Set xRgDate = xRgDate(1)
Set xRgSend = xRgSend(1)
Set xRgText = xRgText(1)
Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
For i = 1 To xLastRow
xRgDateVal = ""
xRgDateVal = xRgDate.Offset(i - 1).Value
If xRgDateVal <> "" Then
If CDate(xRgDateVal) - Date <= 7 And CDate(xRgDateVal) - Date > 0 Then
xRgSendVal = xRgSend.Offset(i - 1).Value
xMailSubject = xRgText.Offset(i - 1).Value & " on " & xRgDateVal
vbCrLf = "<br><br>"
xMailBody = "<HTML><BODY>"
xMailBody = xMailBody & "Dear " & xRgSendVal & vbCrLf
xMailBody = xMailBody & "Text : " & xRgText.Offset(i - 1).Value & vbCrLf
xMailBody = xMailBody & "</BODY></HTML>"
Set xMailItem = xOutApp.CreateItem(0)
With xMailItem
.Subject = xMailSubject
.To = xRgSendVal
.HTMLBody = xMailBody
.Display
'.Send
End With
Set xMailItem = Nothing
End If
End If
Next
Set xOutApp = Nothing
End SubNotes: The line If CDate(xRgDateVal) - Date <= 7 And CDate(xRgDateVal) - Date > 0 Then in the VBA code means that the due date must be greater than 1 day and less than or equal to 7 days. You can change it as you need.
3. Press the F5 key to run the code. In the first popping up Kutools for Excel dialog box, please select the due date column range and then click the OK button. See screenshot:
4. Then the second Kutools for Excel dialog box pops up, please select the corresponding column range which contains the recipients’ email addresses, and click the OK button. See screenshot:
5. In the last Kutools for Excel dialog box, select the content you want to display in the email body, and then click the OK button.
Then an email will be created automatically with the specified recipient, subject and body listed out if the due date in column C is less than or equal to 7 days. Please click the Send button to send the email.
Notes:
1. Each created email is corresponding to a due date. For example, if there are three due dates meet the criteria, three email messages will be created automatically.
2. This code will not be triggered if there are no dates meet the criteria.
3. The VBA code is only working when you use Outlook as your email program.
