This is a simple Web WhatsApp Bot developed in python using Selenium. Selenium is used mainly for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) be automated as well.

• One can send a single message to multiple contacts over a specific time

• It can search a contact from the list if the contact isn't present in the recent chats

• The Script can also search for the contact in the new chat list and then send message if the contact is not found in the recent chat list.
