## Note

This is for saved contact numbers only if you want to send whatsapp bulk messages to unsaved or without saving the contact numbers. You may prefer another repository.

* Repository: https://github.com/inforkgodara/whatsapp-bulk-messages-without-saving-contacts



## Important

* WhatsApp Business released API on May 2022, no longer needed this repository. You can accomplish your same requirements through WhatsApp Business APIs.



## Prerequisites



In order to run the python script, your system must have the following programs/packages installed and the contact number should be saved in your phone (You can use bulk contact number saving procedure of email). There is a way without saving the contact number but has the limitation to send the attachment.

* Python 3.8: Download it from https://www.python.org/downloads

* Selenium Web Driver: Either you can use repo driver else you can download it https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

* Google Chrome : Download it from https://www.google.com/chrome

* Pandas : Run in command prompt **pip install pandas**

* Xlrd : Run in command prompt **pip install xlrd**

* Selenium: Run in command prompt **pip install selenium** 



## Approach

* User scans web QR code to log in into the WhatsApp web application.

* The script reads a customized message from excel sheet.

* The script reads rows one by one and searches that contact number in the web search box if the contact number found on WhatsApp then it will send a configured message otherwise It reads next row. 

* Loop execute until and unless all rows complete.



Note: If you wish to send an image instead of text you can write attachment selection python code.



## Legal
