O2 Script/API GMail.cs

From

Using WatiN to create a GMail account

This script shows how to implement a complex workflow using O2's scripting capabilities and WatiN's web automation API.

In this case we will semi-automatically create an new GMail email address (the process cannot be fully automated due to the CAPTCHA and mobile phone verificaiton requirements)

The script workflow is:

open a new instance of IE
navigate to https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=mail
ask user to provide the desired new account name/email and password
auto populate the following fields, checkboxes and listbox:FirstName, LastName, Email, Passwd, PasswdAgain, homepageSet, PersistentCookie, smhck, questions, IdentityAnswer
click on the 'check availability!' button
if required ask the user for the CAPTCHA protecting multiple 'check availability!' requests
ask the user to resolve the main 'new account creation' CAPTCHA
click on the Submit button
when the next page loads, ask the used for his mobile phone number, populate the 'MobileNumber' field with the provided value and submit the form
in the next page, ask the user to enter the mobile phone verification number, populate the 'idvGivenAnswer' field and submit the form
to complete the process open the http://mail.google.com/mail page
