How Do I Create a Sketch to Login to an Account?

edited October 2013 in How To...

I would like to create a number of bots that will automatically check emails and other accounts for new activity, then either send me an email or a text. I would like to focus on the first bit, and worry about the second bit later. I want to know how to create something that I assume would open Internet Explorer / Safari / Firefox to a particular login page. Then the bot would enter my username and password and submit. The rest I'll figure out later. Please and thanks!

    Processing is probably not the best tool for such task, you better use some automation tool, like AutoHotkey or AutoIt on Windows, or Sikuli, or similar.

  • I'll bet you processing can do it, even though I don't know how!

    Can be done, perhaps, with the Robot class or some library. But, again, there are more sophisticated automation tools for that.

  • Thanks a lot guys! I do have an auto...something program on my old mac. I'll try to figure it out through that.
