Hallo,
why don't you try running it?
Error: Target label does not exist.

Line#
001: WinGetTitle,Window_name,A
002: Window_name := "Telegram Web"
003: WinActivate,Window_name
---> 006: SetTimer,Repeat,720000
007: Send,{Text}Test
008: Send,{Enter}
009: Exit
010: Exit
010: Exit

Repeat: missing!
Perhaps:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
WinGetActiveTitle, Window_name
Window_name := "Telegram Web"
SetTimer, Repeat, 720000

Repeat:
WinActivate, %Window_name%
Send {Text}Test
Send, {Enter}
Return

Hey Rohwedder thanks for your help.

it seems to send messages now, but does not seem to register the specific application. it sends messages to whatever's active.

I'm hoping to be able to send messages to my chat groups to remind us of things, but also hope to use the computer at the same time.

a) get the PID of that window
b) use ControlSend with that PID to send the text - even it's in the background (without activating/getting that window on focus).
