I have a shell script to automate a process

The command I'm using gives me 3 selection to choose from and wait for input from me.

Command

1- choice one 
2- choice two
3- choice three

Please eneter your choice: 

Im using this command in my script and my choice is always number one
Is there a way I can automate the selection to be one in my shell script
