Enter name etc after scanning the QR Code. The chat window of the person should exist in your chats list

Code

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
url = "https://web.whatsapp.com/"
driver.get(url)
name = input("Enter group or Person name :")
msg = input("Enter your message :")
count = int(input("Enter the number of times :"))

user = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[@title = "{}"]'.format(name))
user.click()

for i in range(count):
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]').send_keys(msg)
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[3]/button').click()

Hello :)

it's a good start with selenium, congratulations!

Now u can start use suports of selenium like:

Code

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
wait = WebDriverWait( browser, 5)

to wait for the page to load and avoid an error like this that happened to me when I ran your script:

Code

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: //span[@title = "Só o que sobrou F.C."]

also u can search about 'phantomjs', stay the tip!!

EDITED: look for how to use cookies to automation tests, u can resolve the question of QRCode easily

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. I didn't put the code for driver to wait because if you are using this code you have to manually enter the name to spam and the message AFTER scanning the QR.

Could you provide me a link to the page where this QR code is taken care of?
