WhatsApp Notifications

Overview

FIFA Bot integrates with WhatsApp Web to send you real-time notifications about every important event: purchases, sales, errors, and system status updates. Stay informed about your trading bot from anywhere, even when you’re away from your computer.

Notification Types

Purchase Confirmations: When a player is successfully bought
Failed Purchases: When a purchase attempt doesn’t complete
New Price Ranges: When the bot adjusts search parameters
Balance Updates: Current coin balance after clearing sold items
Screenshots: Visual confirmation of bot status
System Events: Process started/stopped, errors, timing updates

How It Works

The bot uses a second Chrome instance with Selenium to control WhatsApp Web:

# bot-desktop.py:41-43
optsWhats = Options()
optsWhats.add_experimental_option('debuggerAddress', 'localhost:9222')
driverWhatsapp = webdriver.Chrome(options=optsWhats)

WhatsApp notifications require a Chrome instance running on port 9222 with WhatsApp Web already logged in. See setup instructions below.

Text Notifications

Sending Messages

The core function sends text messages to your configured WhatsApp chat:

# bot-desktop.py:448-460
def enviarWhatsapp(mensaje):
    if eW.get()== 1:  # Check if WhatsApp is enabled
        # Click on the first chat (your configured contact/group)
        chat=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="pane-side"]/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/span/span')
        chat.click()
        time.sleep(1)
        
        # Click on message input field
        posicionar=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='main']/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]")
        posicionar.click()
        time.sleep(2)
        
        # Type and send message
        posicionar.send_keys(mensaje)
        botonEnviar=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='main']/footer/div[1]/div[3]/button/span")
        botonEnviar.click()
        print("WHATSAPP ENVIADO")

XPath Targeting

The function uses XPath selectors to identify WhatsApp Web elements. These paths:

Target the first chat in your chat list
Locate the message input field
Find the send button

Note: WhatsApp Web updates may change these XPaths. If messages stop sending, you may need to update the selectors.

Message Examples

Purchase Success
Purchase Failed
Price Range Update
Balance Update
System Status

# bot-desktop.py:392
enviarWhatsapp("SE COMPRO "+mWhats+" Iteracion: " + str(iteraciones))

Example output:

SE COMPRO 850 Iteracion: 127

Tells you:

A player was purchased
Purchase price: 850 coins
Iteration number: 127

# bot-desktop.py:403
enviarWhatsapp("NO SE COMPRO "+str(mWhats) + " Iteracion: " + str(iteraciones))

Example output:

NO SE COMPRO 850 Iteracion: 127

Indicates purchase was attempted but failed (another user bought first).

# bot-desktop.py:146, 190
enviarWhatsapp("Nuevo Rango Compra: "+str(maximo.get())+" Venta: "+final.get())

Example output:

Nuevo Rango Compra: 950 Venta: 1100

Shows the bot has adjusted:

Buy price: 950 coins maximum
Sell price: 1100 coins

# bot-desktop.py:428, 609
saldo=driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/main/section/section/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]").text
enviarWhatsapp(saldo)

Example output:

12.450

Your current coin balance after clearing sold items.

# bot-desktop.py:593-594
enviarWhatsapp("Van "+str(cuantos))
enviarWhatsapp("Calculando Rango")

Example output:

Van 50
Calculando Rango

Progress update showing iteration count and current activity.

Screenshot Notifications

Automated Screenshots

The bot can capture and send screenshots of the FIFA Web App:

# bot-desktop.py:477-488
def enviarScreenshot():
    if eSS.get() ==1:  # Check if screenshots are enabled
        # Capture screenshot
        driver.save_screenshot("screenshot.png")
        filepath = 'screenshot.png'
        
        # Convert to clipboard-compatible format
        image = Image.open(filepath)
        output = BytesIO()
        image.convert("RGB").save(output, "BMP")
        data = output.getvalue()[14:]
        output.close()
        
        # Copy to Windows clipboard
        send_to_clipboard(win32clipboard.CF_DIB, data)
        
        # Send via WhatsApp
        enviarImagenWhatsapp()

Sending Images

# bot-desktop.py:463-474
def enviarImagenWhatsapp():
    if eSS.get() ==1:
        # Select chat
        chat=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="pane-side"]/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/span/span')
        chat.click()
        time.sleep(1)
        
        # Click message input and paste from clipboard
        posicionar=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='main']/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]")
        posicionar.click()
        posicionar.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL, 'v')  # Paste
        time.sleep(3)
        
        # Click send button for image
        botonEnviar=driverWhatsapp.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='app']/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/span/div/span/div/div/div[2]/span/div/div")
        botonEnviar.click()
        print("IMAGEN ENVIADA")

When Screenshots Are Sent

After clearing sold items (to show transfer list)
When errors occur (for debugging)
On demand via remote control SCREENSHOT command
After re-login sequence completes

Clipboard Helper Function

# bot-desktop.py:507-511
def send_to_clipboard(clip_type, data):
    win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
    win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard()
    win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(clip_type, data)
    win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

The clipboard functions use win32clipboard, which only works on Windows. If you’re running on Linux/Mac, you’ll need to modify this code to use a different clipboard library.

Notification Settings

Control which notifications are sent using checkboxes in the bot interface:

# bot-desktop.py:1133-1141
eW=IntVar()
eWradio=Checkbutton(frameAcciones, text="Enviar Whatsapp eW=1", variable=eW)
eWradio.grid(sticky=W,row=0,column=0)

eSS=IntVar()
eSSradio=Checkbutton(frameAcciones, text="Enviar ScreenShot eSS=1", variable=eSS)
eSSradio.grid(sticky=W,row=2,column=0)

Enable Text Notifications
Enable Screenshot Notifications

Check the “Enviar Whatsapp eW=1” checkbox in the bot interface.This enables:

Purchase notifications
Price range updates
Balance updates
System status messages

Wrong chat selected (not pinned at top)
XPath selectors outdated

Solutions:

Verify Chrome debugger connection
Check WhatsApp Web is active
Re-pin notification chat to top
Update XPaths if WhatsApp Web updated

Screenshots not sending

Possible causes:

Screenshot setting disabled (eSS=0)
Clipboard access issues
Screenshot file path problems

Solutions:

Enable “Enviar ScreenShot eSS=1”
Run bot as administrator (for clipboard access)
Check screenshot.png is created in bot directory

Duplicate messages

Cause: Network delay causing retry logicSolution: Increase time.sleep() delays in enviarWhatsapp function

Privacy & Security

WhatsApp Security Considerations:

Messages are sent via your personal WhatsApp account
Keep your notification chat private
Don’t share screenshots publicly (they may contain sensitive info)
Consider using a dedicated phone number for bot notifications
WhatsApp Terms of Service prohibit automation - use at your own risk
