Building a WhatsApp Web Automation Chrome Extension (Bulk, Schedule, Filters, Logs)

Source: Dev.to

What it helps with

• Bulk messaging for campaigns/announcements (for opted‑in contacts — please don’t be That Person).
• Scheduled messages when “I’ll send it later” turns into “I forgot”.
• Smart filtering (unread chats, selected chat types, target lists) so you work like a human, not a tab hoarder.
• Personalization tokens like {name} to avoid sounding like a robot.
• Send control: start/stop anytime, pace your sends, and track quotas.
• Status downloader (because sometimes you just need that status… for reasons).
• Logs & reporting: what was sent, when, and to whom (via the panel).

Why I built it

• Lives inside WhatsApp Web (no extra apps to babysit).
• Keeps things controlled (quotas + pacing).
• Makes repetitive messaging feel like a workflow, not a punishment.

Responsible use

This tool is intended for legitimate workflows such as sales follow‑ups, support queues, and community updates — not for spam.
