Automate adding content for testing purposes

Hi all,

We currently have our sandbox and I’m wondering if there’s any way to automate adding content (particularly forum posts and replies) to do things like testing automations, integrations, and the AI moderation functionality. In my dream world, I’m able to create a dozen accounts and have them post a few times every day to then make sure everything is flowing as we expect. Thank you!

    All of that should be possible via the API. 

    1. Creating test accounts = register a new user https://api2-us-west-2.insided.com/docs/user/#tag/User/operation/register
    2. Creating test posts of each type (each post type has a different API operation to create)
    3. Creating test replies to posts of each type (same thing, different API operation for each post/topic type)

    You find #1 in the User API and #2 and #3 in the Community API sections

      Thanks, ​@DannyPancratz! I was able to do this in Workato. Just set up five test accounts, then made one recipe to have them start threads (with the OP being randomized) and one recipe to reply. I use a step where an LLM generates the content based on a prompt and uses our support documentation as its training materials. 

      Working well so far!
