title: Whatsapp message requests without Selenium
body: <p>Simple project. Send, receive or generally simplify your life by automating messages. For example, I need to send &quot;Happy new Year!&quot; message to certain group of people. Heck, I'll go step further and make  programmable messages: <code>&quot;Happy new year, {name}!&quot; </code>.</p>
  <p>But there is a constraint, I can't use Selenium based api nor webhook. That'd be too easy!</p>
  <p>My question is, is there any free tool or api in any programming language that can send, receive WhatsApp messages?</p>
  <p>To have an idea of the project, here is a little sketch. Note: I'm not the best designer.</p>
