You should always check https://xkcd.com/1205/ first to see if it makes sense to automate something

Let's say it takes half a second to copy/paste and submit the message. That's 50 seconds saved, round it to one minute. You're only doing it once, so let's cross over to yearly. According to the Munroe Automation Scale, you can spend up to 5 minutes on it.

I'd say that code took about 1 minute to write. Maybe 2.

Result: do the automation.
