Hi José,
Set the ChromeDriver path when you call the webdriver.Chrome.
eg:
browser = webdriver.Chrome('/home/user/Python/ChromeDriver/chromedriver')
browser.get('twitter.com')

Can we also send messages to groups or only to people?
you can send messages to groups also. just put the name of group, in the
toparameterYou can send messages to Groups also. Just use the name of the group in the recipient's name.
Do we need to be logged in WhatsApp web for it to work? I didn't quite understand how it sends the message. Also, what about contacts saved as numbers only (no name but only phone number)?
Hi ! Thanks for asking. When you run the code shown, chrome will open whatsapp web. For the first time you need to scan QR code to login to whatsapp.
You can send only to saved contacts.
Otherwise whatsapp may block you for spamming.
For contacts saved only as phone number, it will work. Just put the phone number instead of name , in the
toparameter of thesendmethodAmazing! Do we need to include the full number (with country code) like +1123456789 or only 123456789 will work?
exactly same as saved. Number must be saved
It doesn't support if the name contains space.
can you show a screen recording ? or terminal output ?
it is expected to work
hii aahnik
i check your github
s link (full documentation), but it links to same page, im looking for a way to send some pdf files to some different people.Hello I have this error
cannot import name 'WhatsApp' from partially initialized module 'wappdriver' (most likely due to a circular import)
did you name your file
wappdriver.py? Dont do that. Learn more about imports.And by the way, wappdriver is not more maintained. See the github repo for notice.
