Auto Messenger [AM]

AM sends scheduled messages to any number of recipients on WhatsApp via the Web interface.

The idea was to find a easier way to send repeated messages to contact list using as little external dependencies as possible.

Approach

At 60 seconds intervals, a message queuer checks the time threshold for all message jobs in an array of objects, if a time match is found between current time and message trigger time, a messenger function is called which runs required UI process for sending a chat message.

• This flow requires an existing chat with the recipient
  • Intended changes on Issue 3

Stack

• Node and Javascript
• Playwright

Setup

• Clone project
• Install dependencies npm install
• Configure time and message settings in /index.js
  • WIP: This will be abstracted to a UI step in future updates
• Run npm run setup to configure and sign into WhatsApp Web
• Run npm start to start the app in background
