Manual vs Automated Messaging

HOW DOES AUTOMATING WHATSAPP WORK? STEP BY STEP

Let’s break it down! First, we use a Python helper called PyWhatKit. It’s like a WhatsApp messenger tool. You install it once. Then it works forever! Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare your phone:
   Open WhatsApp Web on your computer. Scan the QR code with your phone. Now they’re connected! Keep your phone charged and online.
2. Install Python tools:
   Open command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Mac). Type:
   pip install pywhatkit
   Hit enter! This downloads our helper tool.
3. Write your automation code:
   Create new file named whatsapp_auto.py. Copy exactly 15 lines below:

python

Copy

Download

import pywhatkit

# Set your message and receiver

message = “Hello from Python automation!”

phone_number = “+1234567890”  # Replace with real number

# Schedule sending time (24-hour format)

hour = 9

minute = 30

# Send message instantly

pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg_instantly(phone_number, message)

# Or schedule later

pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg(phone_number, message, hour, minute)

print(“Message scheduled successfully!”)

1. Run your code:
   Save the file. Double-click to run! Your browser opens WhatsApp. Message sends automatically. Magic!

Activity Time:
Send yourself a test message! Replace +1234567890 with your number. Run the code. See the magic happen!
