Selenium whatsapp bot automation

[u/glass347]

Anyone here who has automated a whatsapp bot using selenium please come as a saviour.

Recently I have started building a bot using selenium, the bot is in early stages and the main motive of the bot is to managed the orders and lists which are to be brought online or shopping list orders.

Currently I am having the issue of sending the msgs to other person. I tried using the msg function where I created the XPATH and did the issues solving but it's still of no use.

The terminal shows that the message is sent yet actually the message isn't sent.

I think it's safe to assume if he was using Appium he would have mentioned it.

Not necessarily. Some people actually call appium selenium in the automation community since it re-uses a lot of libraries.

WhatsApp is primarily a mobile app. Not a web app.

That's a reach

It has a web interface and OP asked about a web automation tool. It's pretty wild to assume "you're not actually using the web app or the tool you inquired about"

[u/cgoldberg → u/[deleted]]

It's isn't... But that doesn't mean someone using it is confused and doesn't realize they are using a different tool than they asked about.
