Stop Annoying Messages (S.A.M.)

Sam Don't-Spam is a programatically controlled Facebook user who helps you reduce spam from overactive group messages.

Usage

Sam is an ordinary Facebook user for you, so just go ahead and friend him! Once you add him to a group chat, go ahead and mute it indefinitely. Sam will keep an eye out for anyone mentioning your name, and send you a private message when they do. Sam can work with multiple groups for multiple users!

Installing

Want your own Sam? First clone this repository and use Yarn to import necessary dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/JohnPhamous/stopannoyingmessages.git
cd stopannoyingmessages
yarn install --ignore-engines

Now all you have to do is create a dummy Facebook account and provide the accounts username and password as environment variables when you run the server file. This can be done like so:

node server.js <dummy_accouny_email> <dummy_account_password>
