The transfer of some everyday work processes to automated mode is an effective way to facilitate routine work, as well as reduce the time for its implementation. In this article, an algorithm is considered, the purpose of which is to automatically transfer the process of filling communities «In Contact» with various materials. In the course of the work, a general–purpose scripting language, PHP, was used through its interaction with the VK API. Analytical work has been carried out to identify the disadvantages and advantages of using this algorithm. The article contains a detailed description of the implementation of the algorithm, taking into account the optional costs of ensuring its operability. The result of the work is to obtain a script that allows you to automate the process of filling communities with materials, according to specified criteria, from sources specified by the user. This script can be used to optimize some processes and modified in any convenient way, taking into account all the needs necessary for its implementation.
