WhatsApp Python Automation

This is a Python-based WhatsApp automation tool that allows you to send messages programmatically using WhatsApp Web's interface.

Features

• Send messages to individual contacts or groups
• Easy to set up and use
• Uses Python for automation
• Works with WhatsApp Web

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Go (version 1.16 or higher)
• Chrome/Firefox browser
• Active WhatsApp account
• Internet connection

Windows-Specific Requirements

For Windows users, additional setup is required:

1. Install Go:

   • Download Go from the official website
   • Run the installer
   • Add Go to your system PATH if not done automatically
   • Verify installation by running go version in Command Prompt

2. Enable CGO:

   • CGO is required for the WhatsApp bridge to work properly
   • Open Command Prompt and run: go env -w CGO_ENABLED=1

3. Install C Compiler:

   • Download and install MSYS2
   • Open MSYS2 and run: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
   • Add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to your system PATH

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone [your-repository-url]
cd whatsapp-python

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Navigate to the project directory:

cd whatsapp-bridge

2. Run the WhatsApp bridge:

go run main.go
#this will start whatsapp mcp server

3. When running for the first time, you'll need to:

   • Scan the QR code with your WhatsApp mobile app
   • Wait for the authentication process to complete
   • Keep your phone connected to the internet

4. To send a message, use the following format:

python whatsapp_message.py
#This will run ai with our mcp connection
send message to "recipient_name" "your message"

eg: send message to chau say hi  /#remember to add contact manually to json so it will load it

How It Works

The application works by:

1. Automating a web browser session
2. Connecting to WhatsApp Web
3. Authenticating via QR code (first time only)
4. Locating the recipient in your contacts
5. Sending the specified message using ollam

Important Notes

• Keep your WhatsApp phone app connected to the internet
• Don't close the server in terminal while sending messages
• Make sure the recipient is in your WhatsApp contacts
• The session needs to be re-authenticated periodically like 20 days
• For Windows users, ensure CGO is enabled and C compiler is properly configured

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Ensure you have a stable internet connection
2. Verify that your WhatsApp account is active
3. Make sure the recipient's name matches exactly as it appears in your contacts
4. Try re-running the script if authentication fails

Windows-Specific Issues

If you encounter errors like:

• Binary was compiled with 'CGO_ENABLED=0': Make sure CGO is enabled
• gcc: command not found: Verify MSYS2 installation and PATH
• missing go.sum entry: Run go mod tidy in the whatsapp-bridge directory
