From Spreadsheet to Send: Chrome-Based Power Automate Messaging Automation

Client Objective

The client required a robust automation solution to send personalized messages at scale by reading data directly from a Google Sheet. Each row contained a recipient’s Name, Number, and Message, which needed to be dynamically inserted into a chat interface (such as WhatsApp Web) and sent automatically.

A key requirement was that the automation must work exclusively in Google Chrome, using browser-based UI interactions, and process messages sequentially to avoid rate limits or delivery errors.

Project Scope

  • Integration with Google Sheets to securely fetch and read row-wise data
  • Desktop automation using Power Automate to control Google Chrome
  • Automated browser actions: opening Chrome, navigating to chat interface, clicking UI elements, pasting data, and sending messages
  • Sequential processing of each row to ensure stability and compliance
  • High reliability with minimal manual intervention

Challenges

  • Ensuring seamless integration between Google Sheets and Power Automate
  • Handling dynamic web elements within WhatsApp Web on Chrome
  • Preventing message duplication, skips, or rate-limit issues
  • Building a Chrome-specific solution (not Edge or Firefox)
