whatsAppGreeting

The idea is based on capturing words or phrases of the whastApp web chat and responding to them. Once the application is executed, it will go through the chats, verifying if there was a message on the day where the phrase or word being searched is found. If it finds it, it responds with the indicated greeting (If the greeting has already been made, it will not do it again).

Based on python3, selenium, and BeautifulSoup
