Posted January 20, 2021 dropshipping is pretty repetitive usually it's waiting for an email, get the information, insert the information for the shippement and ship so I was looking for something that can manage to read stuff from a browser (like firefox) or any other application, and be able to do some user input (like move the cursor, click, insert some text) but I have no idea how to do it nor where to look for ps: I'm sorry but at the time my phone was missbehaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 20, 2021 It's really not clear what you're asking. Read what exactly, files, text, user input…?

If you want to do something like this with C++, you will need to have a fairly extensive knowledge of WinAPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some goes for moving the cursor and entering text. Doable, but prone to errors if fields more around, names change etc. Quote usually it's waiting for an email, get the information, insert the information for the shippement and ship Is this information you receive through email standardized in some way or are we talking about text written by a human being? Parsing information from an email, converting it as needed and sending it somewhere else should be doable, provided we are talking about standardized input and output. E.g. you could write an application that communicates with the email server directly. When a new mail arrives its contents are parsed, the information is reformatted as needed and then sent to wherever it needs to go. Ideally whoever receives the data in the end has some API for this, since parsing/scraping a website is (once again) quite error prone. So it really depends on what kind of information you receive via email, in which way it needs to be processed and how you need to forward the information. You could probably cobble something together with some UI automation tools, but if this is something a business depends on I'd rather have a more stable/standardized process.
