Made using

How to make it work

Follow these steps below to run this

• Download Edge Driver or Chrome Driver for your operating system.

• Put it into the root directory.

• Open main.py file in your favorite code editor.

• Go to line 16, change it to:

  • browser = webdriver.Edge("msedgedriver.exe") if you want use Microsoft Edge.
  • browser = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver.exe") if you want use Google Chrome.

• Fill these fields with proper credentials and parameters inside main.py file.

start_page_index = 50
last_page_index = 60

# Credentials and Message
username = ""
password = ""
message = "Write some message!"

• Having Python installed on your machine, run pip install selenium on terminal.

• Now run python main.py on terminal.

What may go wrong

Inside the source code there is a place where I had to go through a list of <span></span> and look for recipents name on a regular interval. This range looks like index_range = [*range(16, 53, 4)] on line 59 which keeps changing due to dynamic markup change. If you can figure out how to handle this dynamic change or you have a better solution , let me know. Else don't worry, this won't stop you from sending automated messages.
