This is a good way to teach people methods for automating.

Agreed! There's no such thing as the "best" way to automate something. We're all at different points of our "automation journey" in learning how to program as well as have different needs (reliability over getting something that we can quickly crank out and does "most" of what we need.)

Between sending key-strokes, using the Windows API, DLL calls, COM, and other methods there are so many ways to accomplish our goals... This webinar is going to help people realize there are a lot of different ways to achieve the same goal. Each having their own strength & weakness.

I'm aware this is a bit shoddy, but I wrote a small snippet that will automatically open your Zoom url approx. 10 minutes before the webinar (with a safety catch to run during the first hour after the webinar has started if the other 10-min window is missed), with dates up until July, 2018. Anyone is more than welcome to clean up it, but it should work as-is
Recommended to put in the startup folder, of course.

Code: Select all

#singleInstance force
#persistent
#include *i <Lib_1>

nlink:="" ; put your Zoom meeting url here! It stays static, at least if you register for all the dates
dates:=["Mar 21 2017","Apr 18 2017","May 16 2017","Jun 20 2017","Jul 18 2017","Aug 15 2017","Sep 19 2017","Oct 17 2017","Nov 21 2017","Dec 19 2017"

setTimer,checkDate,% min(1)
return

checkDate:

    if(inStr(getUTC("MMMM"),a)){
        if(inStr(getUTC("yyyy"),a)){
            if(inStr(getUTC("d"),a)){
                if(getUTC("h")<=8){
                    while((getUTC("h")!=7 && getUTC("m")<50)||(getUTC("h")!=8))
                        sleep min(1)
                    run % nLink
                    break
                }
            }
        }
    }
    sleep hour(6)

Nice idea . I think it will be especially useful for new users. Why not to Announcements section for the announcement of new webinars? I mean sticky topics that appear at the top of each section so that more people can see the announcement.
