Hi I am an independent contracter and receive emails from the companies that contact me as mass email blasts. The first contractor to click the "accept" link within the email gets the job. It's very tough, because the email goes out to many contractors all at once. I'm pretty sure that gmail or outlook can do this, and if anyone here can help me get this done I'll gladly pay you. It needs to: 1. Screen for the email addresses that send out the mass emails (basically 3 different ones) Scanning for the type of work. Always stated right after the same leading word. Scanning for the number of hours. Always stated right after the same leading word. 2. Click the link - link appears like this: [login to view URL]://[login to view URL] All my work is delivered through this very same ContractDealer. He uses the same link each time, i.e. the initial start of the link is always the same, just the hash tag is different each time. My idea was to have it screen the links for " [login to view URL]" and click that link, but don't really care how it works. I am only certified to carry out a part of the offered contracts, so point 1 has to work also. A more advance version would allow for it to: A. screen for type of appraisal - for example look for text "enterprise", "number of estimated hours: 100” to allow me to pick and choose the orders myself. I would really prefer to enter contracts with a larger number of estimated hours. B. Restricted not to accept work on days where I am occupied elsewhere. The required date(s) is always stated right after the same leading word. - or it's possible I will accept too much work to possibly complete on one day. Right now I am using Gmail as my email account, but I can change to any email account preferred (E.g. Outlook), whatever you find easiest, to ease you software programming. This should be helpful to the programmer if solved on Outlook platform: Search the HTMLBody property of the message for links that fit your criteria. You can use regular expressions. Or, if they make your brain hurt, use standard text parsing functions like Instr() and Mid(). Furthermore, - if your prefer the software to be made to target Outlook, you might find this helpful: Once you get the link text, invoke either the IE or Outlook browser, using the syntax described at [login to view URL] I would like this completed ASAP - Please PM me a time frame & amount you would like to be paid for completion of this project. I'm sure this is an easy job for someone familiar with php, but I am not that guy. I’m also pretty sure an application might already have been developed ready to use. I simply can't find that software program on the net, that fulfill ALL my requirements. If you know of en existing application fulfilling my requirements, please let me know and I will pay you for that knowledge instead. I would prefer a solution in C# or php, I have a little experience with those programming languages but others would also do, but then you have to caculate time for giving me basic directions, so I can maintain the code myself after your delivery. Thanks

Hello, am I understand correct? To sum, 3rd party is sending you email and it includes a link to accept a job. When you click on first among other users, you get the job? So, using API emails will be checked every minute and if it's good (hours - $$ etc) script would go to link and you will win the job? If so, I can handle this.

Hello, My name is Faizan. I am a PHP Developer. I have seen your requirements and what I have understood from it is that you get emails from companies that contain a contract description, number of hours and then an Accept link. You want to click that link as fast as possible if it meet your criteria. If that is the case then I think its definitely possible. Although your approach is not correct. What we normally do in that case is we use gmail API. Through API we get access to all the emails in your inbox in a PHP variable(So no gmail login is required). So a script will keep on running 24 hours and look for any new email. As soon as we receive a new email we will parse its content and through linux wget command we click the accept link. We parse the email content through HTML5 DOM Processor based on php - phpQuery. What it does is it basically ready the html tags and break them into usable php variables. Based on those variables we can compare the criteria, save it in database or click a link. Lets discuss it in detail. I would be happy to work on this. Thanks Faizan Shakil Faruqi

This could be done with many different ways. For example: 1. Outlook add-in which will be called on new email coming, Then it will parse emails, search for URL and "click" it 2. It could be done with custom POP3/IMAP app which will monitor incoming mail and make same parsing as in 1. 3. It could be done with Microsoft Flow, which will monitor emails and some custom code that will do the thing. Please specify your budget, so I could estimate could I help you or not.

My understanding of your requirement: The software shall provide following functionalities: 1. Scan your inbox for specific email IDs, type of work, and the number of hours. 2. Click the link in the email body, to accept the work. 3. Above 2 steps needs to be done ad quick as possible. Proposed solution: A bot that opens your email in a browser and executes steps 1 and 2. This can be done as generic as possible, in a way adding a new keyword(email, type of work, hrs) and new recipient email id very easily thru the UI of the bot application. it is easy to do with Gmail, I will write the code more flexible so you can add a new email account(outlook for example) with less work.

Hello, Your project looks very interesting and I would be glad to help you. Do you need a UI for this (e.g. so that you can manually choose what to actually bid on)? Please let me know your thoughts Adi Constantin
