iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,

Hi,

The following macro is as suggested by the iMacros recorder and works for me. You will need to put your own username and password in the content parameter of the TAG commands:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=5200814     
TAB T=1     
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS     
URL GOTO=https://www.gmail.com
SIZE X=801 Y=602    
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:ServiceLoginAuth ATTR=ID:Email CONTENT=<username>
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=ACTION:ServiceLoginAuth ATTR=ID:Passwd CONTENT=<password> 
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:ServiceLoginAuth ATTR=NAME:null&&VALUE:Sign<SP>in

Hi,

The macro code I gave works (for me a least!) for the english version of the gmail website.

If you want to use it with other websites you will probably need to alter the command parameters, as the login boxes and buttons are likely to have different names.

However, this should be very straightforward as the iMacros recorder should set up these commands automatically when you record logging in (if you are having problems with the TAG command for the password then you should record this again).

If straightforward TAG commands do not work with a login then you should try using WINCLICK.
