Group VM name and send into single email which having same email in CSV

Question

I'm just getting started with powerCLI. Trying to write a script that get the vm name in CSV, check vm's guest disks with less than 20% free space and email to email address listed in CSV. However, I have difficult to group "name" into single email which having same email.

Below is the script that I use to list out vm's guest disks which less than 20%

import-csv ".\vm.csv"  | Group-Object $_."email"

ForEach ($VM in Get-VM $_."name" ){($VM.Extensiondata.Guest.Disk | `
Select @{N="Name";E={$VM.Name}},DiskPath, `
@{N="Capacity(MB)";E={[math]::Round($_.Capacity/ 1MB)}}, `
@{N="Free Space(MB)";E={[math]::Round($_.FreeSpace / 1MB)}} ,`
@{N="Free Space %";E={[math]::Round(((100* ($_.FreeSpace))/ ($_.Capacity)),0)}} | Where-Object {($_."Free Space %" -lt 20)})} 

For example in CSV :

name   email    
vm1    [email protected]
vm2    [email protected]
vm3    [email protected]
vm4    [email protected]

Output:

email received by [email protected]
   No  VM    Free%
    1. vm1    10
    2. vm3     9

email received by [email protected]
   No  VM    Free%
    1. vm2     13
    2. vm4     15

Appreciate if anyone could help.

Thanks.

try Something like this:

Function SendSimpleMail 
{ 
             # Déclaration des paramètres 
             param([string]$Objet, [string]$Message, [string[]]$ToMail)

$SmtpServer="yoursmtpname"
$encoding=[System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$FromMail="from@domain"

Send-MailMessage -To $ToMail -Subject $Objet -Body $Message -SmtpServer $SmtpServer -From $FromMail -Encoding $encoding

}

import-csv ".\vm.csv"  | %{
$VM=Get-VM $_.name
$Email==$_.email
$VM.Extensiondata.Guest.Disk | %{
                                [pscustomobject]@{
                                Email=$Email
                                Name=$VM.Name
                                DiskPath=$_.DiskPath
                                "Capacity(MB)"=[math]::Round($_.Capacity/ 1MB)
                                "Free Space(MB)"=[math]::Round($_.FreeSpace / 1MB)
                                "Free Space %"=if ($_.Capacity -eq 0) {0} else {[math]::Round(((100* ($_.FreeSpace))/ ($_.Capacity)),0)}
                                }
}

} | group Email | %{

$body=$_.group | Out-String
SendSimpleMail "subject" $body $_.Name

}
