How can I run a test containing oAuth without manual input?

Question

I have a GET request, and I have added some automation code in the Auth window (login with other service - added user, password and clicked on the sign in button), in order to be able to get the token.

If I open the project and click on run I kind of expected to have the automation code executed with the token generated and used in the get request. But for my case it is not working. I have to manually open the Auth tab, go to Automation, run the code and the token will be generated. After that I can run the test suite.

How can I remove these steps that I'm doing manually in order to have everything automated?

Would you mind showing the script which you say automation code?

Sure Rao,&nbsp;Just to be clear the steps I used for oAuth are as follows:1. For the REST request step I click on the Auth tab (where I have created and added a new authorization)2. Click on get token3. Set the details for the client identification, authorization&nbsp; URI, Redirect URI4. Click on the Automation tab5. Write the code:if (document.getElementById("Email")) {document.getElementById("Email").value = "xxxx@gmail.com";document.getElementById("next").click();&nbsp;setTimeout(function(){if (document.getElementById("Passwd")) {document.getElementById("Passwd").value = "password";document.getElementById("signIn").click();}}, 1000);}&nbsp;6. Run the code: It works as expected and the login window is opened, the credentials added and clicks on the sign in button7. The token is generated and can be used in the request&nbsp;Now my problem:If I send the request now everything works as expected (because I have the token) but if I delete the token and send the request without running the code within the Automation window (to retrieve the token), it fails.&nbsp;Have you ever had this issue? Were you able to make it work without the need to run the automation code manually before sending the request?&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
