Before we begin, please note that automating WhatsApp messages can be against WhatsApp's terms of service and could potentially lead to your account being banned. With that in mind, here's a short tutorial on how to automate WhatsApp messages using the Python programming language and the Selenium library.
Step 1: Install the necessary software
Install Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/
Install the Selenium library using pip: pip install selenium
Step 2: Set up the ChromeDriver
Download the ChromeDriver executable for your operating system from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
Extract the downloaded file and place the executable in a directory on your computer
Step 3: Write the Python code
Open your preferred Python IDE or text editor and create a new file
Copy and paste the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
# Set up the ChromeDriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver')
# Navigate to WhatsApp Web
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com/')
# Wait for the user to scan the QR code
input('Press Enter once you have scanned the QR code and are logged in to WhatsApp Web')
# Find the conversation you want to send a message to and click on it
contact_name = 'Contact Name'
search_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[contains(@class, "copyable-text selectable-text")][@contenteditable="true"][@data-tab="3"]')
search_box.send_keys(contact_name)
search_box.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
# Wait for the conversation to load
time.sleep(5)
# Send the message
message_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[contains(@class, "copyable-text selectable-text")][@contenteditable="true"][@data-tab="6"]')
message_box.send_keys('Your message')
message_box.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
# Close the ChromeDriver
driver.quit()
Replace '/path/to/chromedriver' with the actual path to the ChromeDriver executable on your computer
Replace 'Contact Name' with the name of the contact or group you want to send a message to
Replace 'Your message' with the actual message you want to send
Step 4: Run the Python code
Save the Python code file with a .py extension
Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the Python code file is saved
Run the Python code by entering the following command: python filename.py
Follow the prompts in the terminal or command prompt to log in to WhatsApp Web and send the message
That's it! You should now have a basic understanding of how to automate WhatsApp messages using Python and Selenium. Remember to use this knowledge ethically and responsibly.
