WhatsApp Marketing Automation Tutorial using Python

Are you ready to learn how to send WhatsApp messages and schedule messages using Python and the pywhatkit library? Buckle up, because we’re about to take you on a journey that will make your WhatsApp marketing dreams come true!

Step 1: Install PyWhatKit
The first step is to install the pywhatkit library. This library is available on PyPI, which means you can install it through pip. Before we do that, let’s create a new virtual environment based on Python 3.10. Once created, we can issue a pip command to install pywhatkit:

conda create --name pywhatkit_env python=3.10 -y
conda activate pywhatkit_env
pip install pywhatkit

Step 2: Import PyWhatKit
After installing the library, import it in your Python script:

import pywhatkit

Step 3: Send a WhatsApp message
To send a WhatsApp message, use the `sendwhatmsg()` function. The function takes two arguments: the phone number (with country code) and the message you want to send. Here’s an example:

pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg("+2734567890", "Hello, this is a test message", 12, 0)

This will send the message “Hello, this is a test message” to the phone number +1234567890 at 12:00 PM (local time). The last two arguments are the hour and minute when you want to send the message.

Step 4: Schedule a WhatsApp message
To schedule a message, use the `sendwhatmsg()` function with an additional argument for the date and time you want to send the message. Here’s an example:

pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg("+1234567890", "Hello, this is a scheduled message", 12, 0, 2023, 9, 1)

This will send the message “Hello, this is a scheduled message” to the phone number +1234567890 on September 1st, 2023 at 12:00 PM (local time).

And there you have it! With these four simple steps, you can send and schedule WhatsApp messages using Python and the pywhatkit library. Whether you’re looking to automate your WhatsApp marketing or just want to send messages to your friends and family, this tutorial has got you covered. So what are you waiting for?
