  • Selenium
  • PyAutoGUI

How to run the script :

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Open terminal in folder and run the below code

  3. Go to today_classes.py and replace alertWords , classes and subjects with your time table

alertWords : The words for which the script need to send a message (To customize the message go to line 126)

subjects : Dictionary of timetable.

classes : Google meet links for all subjects


# WHEN THESE WORDS ARE TRIGGERED A MESSAGE WILL BE SENT
alertWords = [ "your_name", "are you there", "unmute yourself", "say something", "can you hear me"]

# TIME TABLE HERE
subjects = {'monday' : ['UNIX', 'OOAD', 'CD', 'OS', 'DBMS'],
                'wednesday' : ['CD', 'OOAD', 'OS','DBMS', 'OS'],
                'friday' : ['OOAD', 'PEHV', 'CD',  'OS', 'UNIX'],
              }

# GOOGLE MEET LINKS TO RESPECTIVE SUBJECTS
classes = { 'UNIX': 'https://meet.google.com/lookup/e3667sh3xh',
                'CD':'link_to_sub',
                'PEHV':'link_to_sub',

  1. Go to today_classes.py line 81 and enter your email

  2. Go to today_classes.py line 88 and enter your email password

  3. That's it. There are 3 options in the script

  • get today periods

Returns list of periods today

   class -t
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • join a specific period

Opens an automated chrome browser and joins that specific subject class automatically

   class subject_name
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • automate today classes

Opens an automated chrome browser and joins all periods on the specific date automatically

The above command will run throughout the day and exit after the last class.

That's it, folks. Do let me know if you want a tutorial on how-to!
