This simple Chrome extension extracts contact information from WhatsApp group chats on WhatsApp Web. It exports the contacts into a CSV file.
The icons used are simple placeholders and can be replaced easily.
This extension should work with any Chromium-based browser.
The process will be similar on any Chromium browser but I am only highlighting Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge as I use them daily.
Open Edge Addons and click "Get" button to install the extension.
- If you are using Microsoft Edge, Open
edge://extensions/
or
if you are using Google Chrome, Openchrome://extensions/
- Enable Developer Mode by clicking on the toggle.
- Click on the 'Load Unpacked' button and navigate to the folder where you have downloaded this repo.
- Select the folder and you're done.
- Open WhatsApp Web and log in.
- Open a group chat from which you want to extract contacts.
- Click on the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar.
- Click "Extract Contacts" to download a CSV file containing the names and numbers of the group members.
- Open the 'whatsapp_contacts' file that you just saved.
- select the row 2
- Press 'Control+C'
- Navigate to any empty column and press and hold 'Alt' then press "H, V, T" in a sequence.
- Voila now you have useable contact numbers for lead generation.
