Here’s a **basic WhatsApp automation sample program** using **Python** and **pywhatkit**, a popular library that allows you to send messages via WhatsApp Web.
> ✅ This works with **WhatsApp Web**, so your computer must be connected to the internet and logged into WhatsApp Web when the message sends.
---
## 🚀 Simple WhatsApp Automation Script (Send a Message)

### ✅ Step 1: Install pywhatkit

bash

pip install pywhatkit

---
### ✅ Step 2: Python Code to Send a WhatsApp Message

python

import pywhatkit as kit

import datetime



# Set the time 1 minute ahead so WhatsApp Web has time to open

now = datetime.datetime.now()

hour = now.hour

minute = now.minute + 1



# Parameters

phone_number = '+1234567890' # Replace with recipient's number (with country code)

message = 'Hello from Python! This is an automated message 🤖'



# Send the message

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

---
### ⚠️ Important Notes:

* Your browser will open automatically to WhatsApp Web.
* You must **scan the QR code** the first time or be already logged in.
* pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg() waits for the exact time to send the message.
---
## 🧠 Cool Extensions (Ideas for Automation):

1. **Schedule daily messages** with a task scheduler (e.g., cron, Windows Task Scheduler)
2. **Read messages from a CSV or database** and loop through them
3. **Send updates or reports automatically** (e.g., weather, stock prices, reminders)

---

## ⛔ Limitations:

* Can’t receive messages with pywhatkit (send-only).
* It’s not “instant” – messages are sent via browser automation.
* For full automation including reading messages, you’ll need:

* **WhatsApp Business API** (very limited access)
* Or **unofficial automation tools** (risk of ban – not recommended for production)
