Automator for Website Automation

[Emiliano]

Hello,

thank you in advance for your help.

So, i usually login to a website and I send the same text over and over to a ton of posts.
Is there any way I can automate this?

A good example would be something like craigslist. Let's assume that i want to send all the posting a message that i will buy their things right now.
SO, i will need the automator to do the following:
1. Open specific URL.
2. Get all possible links from within that URL and open them in new tabs (safari/chrome does not really matter).
3. Then, click on a specific button (function area).
4. Past specific text on field #1.
5. then take a value from X location on page and add Y% to that value; lastly paste it on field #2.
6. Click on Submit button.

Can the automator do this? Or should I look into getting a macros to get this done?

Thank you

Hello and welcome.

Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't work, because of the design of most websites with regards to their security and anti-spamming/hacking measures.

OK...thanks for the additional information.

Unfortunately, the intricate of an AppleScript/Automator solution is far beyond my experience. Maybe someone else here may have a suggestion, or you could always check out the following forum for AppleScrip/Automator:
