How to automate this tedious browser task?

I want to create some type of bot to automate this tedious task that I have to do for hours on end in Chrome. I need it to:
1. move the mouse around for a few minutes
2. check a box
3. click send
4. loop

How would I create something like this? I am a complete noob and don’t know where to start.

You could try something like selenium, if that fails try and google browser automation

Haven't heard of this tool before but this looks super interesting! Thanks!

iMacros would be the most suitable, if you're a beginner. It can be used with no coding knowledge whatsoever, you just need to record stuff practically and play it (in loop). It seems fairly easy what you try to automate, although i don't exactly know what you mean by "move the mouse around for a few minutes".

You can try the Firefox addon or the standalone browser, i wouldn't recommend the Chrome addon.

You could record the actions using the selenium IDE firefox addon (or Chrome) https://www.seleniumhq.org/selenium-ide/ then just loop the actions.
