Automation script that clicks on a button to launch another extension script

Hello there,

Currently I have 3 different buttons with 3 different extension scripts that pull data from 3 different APIs to fill in data (see screenshot attached).

This works well, but the metrics need to be updated on a monthly basis. I was wondering if there was a way to create an automation monthly that would "click" on those button to trigger the data pull.

Many thanks,

Alex

Automations have no access to dashboard extensions. 

However most extension scripts can be converted to run as automation scripts.

Thank you, that's what I thought 🙂 

I will look into converting them at some point as I need to get around the limit of 50 "fetches" per day as I have a few thousands records to update regularly.

Cheers,
