Send mass DMs on Facebook Messenger
Having been in a bunch of clubs during my time in college, I've often found myself in the position of having to individually send the same direct message to a large group of club members at once. For example, if I'm organizing a meeting, I want to check in with everybody who hasn't RSVP'd to the event. messenger_bot allows me to do this without having to go through the hassle of multiple copy-and-pastes.
messenger_bot uses facebook-chat-api to log in, find recipients, and send messages.
Disclaiimer: As of now, using this app will make Facebook think that your Facebook account was hacked. You'll have to generate a new password. But that only takes like 10 seconds compared to the >1 minute you'd have to spend messaging people...right?
