Use Python to send automated WhatsApp messages over Firefox with Selenium.
I'm not affiliated or authorized by Meta/Facebook/WhatsApp. Use this at your own risk. I'm not responsible for failed/wrong send messages. Sometimes WhatsApp changes some xpath, so make sure to test every single time, before using this for an application, that mustn't fail. If there is an error, it's mostly some changed xpath, sometimes a geckodriver update is required.
At the moment WhatsApp-Messages sent over the automated WhatsApp-Web-Python-Script are sometimes not displayed on the phone. You can keep WhatsApp-Web open like shown in open_whatsapp.py to check your messages and then close manually with a keyboard interrupt.
