Automate WHM account creation

[designsilo]

Hi All,

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct area so my apologies if I have.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to somehow have an email address automatically created upon account creation. I have a lot of tiny accounts that I'm creating and doing the same steps over and over is getting very tedious. Here is what I was hoping for:

1. Create account via WHM
2. Automatically create email address sales@domain.com using the same password as the account password

Is this something that is possible? If so, does anyone know how or have any resources that I can be directed to?

Also, as mentioned earlier, I'm expecting to have to create a lot of little accounts (20 or more at a time). Is there any method of bulk loading accounts?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the cPanel API to create accounts but I don't believe their API supports the creation of e-mail accounts yet.

Or you can hire someone to write you a curl script to do this. API might be more secure though (?).

IIRC there are a few scripts floating around on google that emulate a more complete API using curl
