  • Doesn't want my sleep to be spoiled

So, I Made a script. Now I don't want to write a long tutorial on how I did and all those stuff. Instead, I'll tell you how to use the script.

Technologies used

  • Python
  • Selenium
  • PyAutoGUI

How to run the script :

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Open terminal in folder and run the below code

  3. Go to today_classes.py and replace alertWords , classes and subjects with your time table

alertWords : The words for which the script need to send a message (To customize the message go to line 126)

subjects : Dictionary of timetable.

classes : Google meet links for all subjects


# WHEN THESE WORDS ARE TRIGGERED A MESSAGE WILL BE SENT
alertWords = [ "your_name", "are you there", "unmute yourself", "say something", "can you hear me"]

# TIME TABLE HERE
subjects = {'monday' : ['UNIX', 'OOAD', 'CD', 'OS', 'DBMS'],
                'wednesday' : ['CD', 'OOAD', 'OS','DBMS', 'OS'],
                'friday' : ['OOAD', 'PEHV', 'CD',  'OS', 'UNIX'],

  1. Go to today_classes.py line 81 and enter your email

  2. Go to today_classes.py line 88 and enter your email password

  3. That's it. There are 3 options in the script

   class subject_name
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • automate today classes
