Public Sub CheckAndSendMail()
'Updated by Extendoffice 2018/11/22
    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 Sub

Notes: 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.
