[Fattchee]

Objective: I want use powershell to automate periodic well-formatted messages to WhatsApp chat groups called "Safety Meeting Agenda" without having to pay for complex software that uses the WhatsApp API.

Pre-Conditions:
1. TypeItIn is installed in the usual directory.
2. WhatsApp desktop is installed on your machine and it is launched.
3. You have a group named "SafetyMeetings"
4. You have a button named "SafetyAgenda"

{Activate WhatsApp}
{App WhatsApp.exe}
{Ctrl f}SafetyMeetings{Enter}{Delay 500}
*Safety Agenda Update: {DateTime dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm}*
{Shift {Enter}}{enter}

Setup your "Windows Scheduler" with the following powershell script to run periodically:

Start-Process -FilePath “TypeItIn.exe" -ArgumentList "SafetyMeetings SafetyAgenda” -WorkingDirectory “C:\Program Files (x86)\TypeItIn\”

You can use a loop to execute a sequence of commands until you press the button again.

For example, {Var1=0}{While (Var1=0) [Example{Enter}{Pause 10}]} will type Example and press Enter every 10 seconds until you press the button again to stop.

Yes. The windows task scheduler can schedule daily, weekly - MTWTFSS, monthly automated activity.

Each button can trigger a looped series of prompts to generate a custom message or a series of messages via {Pastefile} to insert multiple chats in an messaging app like Telegram or WhatsApp.
