How to Add Contact to WhatsApp Group Chat

As a group admin for several hundred WhatsApp groups, I've found myself repeating the same tedious task multiple times: adding contacts to individual groups. While you can add multiple contacts to a single group at once, there's no simple way to add a single contact to multiple groups simultaneously. This manual process is time-consuming and inefficient, especially when dealing with hundreds of groups.

I wasn't able to find any existing solution or article about this online, so I decided to create a script to automate the task using Python code. Here's an overview of the automated solution:

The typical manual process requires searching for the group, clicking on the group info, scrolling through the existing group participants (or searching from existing contacts to add new participants), setting a change, and then making a confirmation. This half-to-one minute job quickly gets old when you need to repeat it hundreds of times.

For all the above-mentioned operations, there's no straightforward way to remove a contact from multiple groups at once or change the admin status of a contact from multiple groups at once. While this might seem like a minor inconvenience, it can become a significant challenge in managing multiple WhatsApp groups.

For example, let's say you need to add a new account manager to 100 groups. Or, an old account manager has left and you need to remove them from a large number of groups. In either case, the manual process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors.

In some cases, adding or removing people to some (or all) of these groups may be necessary due to business requirements or customer preferences. Perhaps your company's customers prefer to communicate over WhatsApp for certain matters. Whatever the reason, having an efficient way to manage group membership is crucial for effective communication and collaboration.
