Once you run your script and it fails, go to the call proceeding the one that fails.

• Go to the response tab

• In the body, find the __RequestVerificationToken name which is in an input tag and extract everything in between the value attribute.

• Select the value and right click > add extraction rule and press OK.

• You will find an Extraction rules folder and underneath it, the Extraction rule we just created. Feel free to rename the Context Parameter Name.

• Go to the next page , which should be the one that failed, and find the Form Post Parameter named "__RequestVerificationToken". View it's properties

• Bind it to the Context Parameter Name created previously. To do so, view the properties of this post parameter and set the "Value" to be:

{{Name Of Context Parameter}}

(Include the 2x curly braces)

• Press enter to confirm/save

Next time you run the script - all works

This is how it worked for me...
