I'm surprised anyone can get this to work, for me document/window is not defined in whatsapp web. I cant select the elements .click() on them. Even with Xpath, I can select on elements when a chat window is already open, but I can't get javascript to click on an avatar to open up one of those chats? am I wrong?

As per @gokunambiar. Is there a way to trigger a sele/click on an item in the chat list on the left panel?
