Can this be automated?

I need an addon that will select the first option to recruit more troops. Am I allowed to automate that with an addon?

Others may know for sure one way or another .. but I would suspect that it wouldn't be allowed as any action needs a hardware event .. so if you were to have that autoclicked it would mean clicking the mouse or pressing the keyboard .. which is the same as selecting the item in question and thus may as well leave it as is. But like I said, others may know with a better level of knowledge on the subject.

Lua Code:

local f=CreateFrame("frame")
f:RegisterEvent("GOSSIP_SHOW")
f:SetScript("OnEvent",function()
 
    -- get the npc id from its guid
    local _,_,_,_,_,npc=strsplit("-",(UnitGUID("npc")) or "")
 
    -- its a string because it just came from a string
    if npc=="135614" then -- wowhead.com/npc=135614
 
        -- first argument is the ordered number of the gossip window
        -- in this case, 2 would select "stay awhile and listen"
        -- second argument is when a gossip option pops up a box
        -- that needs input, currently only used to interact with
        -- the Tyrael's Hilt npc or Landro Longshot
        -- third argument skips any possible confirmation dialog
        -- that the gossip option may generate
        C_GossipInfo.SelectOption(1,"",true)
 
    end
end)
