Important thing on Chromedriver:

• Check your chrome browser version (must be 104 since it's included in this bot's version)
• Alternatively, after you check your chrome browser version, head to: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads and download the version that matches your current chrome browser version and put it in the same folder as the bot.

How to use the bot wit Gmail:

• Head to Google App Password
• In "Select app" field, select Custome and name it whatever you want (recommend ReadEmail) and hit Generate
• Copy the password that it gives you and keep it somewhere save, do not share that with anyone.
• Download and unzip the bot, and run 'run_gmail.bat'
• Type in NetID and password
• Type in Gmail and paste in the generated password from google app password
• The bot will now wait until there's a notification for open seats and will start yoinking it.

How to use the bot with Outlook:

• Make sure to have installed python (the one from windows store is recommended)
• Make sure to have install outlook (for the people that works in the school and have to use outlook as their UIC mail)
• Make sure that outlook is running before running the bot.
  • Note: (Use the minimize when close options to put Outlook away and still running)
  • Always have to keep running in the background
• Run 'run_outlook.bat' and type in your NetID and password
• Leave it there. Once it ran, the moment you receive an open seat notification it will automatically grab that seat for you.

• common ones are :
  • just a wait list
  • time conflict
  • not sure, if anything else goes wrong report to issues, ty.
