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.

Macro to mark and remove SPAM from web-based help desk

You may know that we use a web-based help desk. And sometimes we get 100s of autoreplies from a certain email address. See screenshot:

How to remove them:
Create a quick macro that checks all tickets with the title "automatic reply":

Code: Select all

SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO
TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:automatic<SP>reply EXTRACT=TXT
TAG POS=R-1 TYPE=INPUT:CHECKBOX FORM=NAME:ticketlist ATTR=NAME:itemid[] CONTENT=YES
Notes: To avoid a click on the ticket link I added EXTRACT=TXT even so I do not want to extract anything. And to avoid the extraction test box I also added SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO

Start the macro with the LOOP button. Use any number as max. value. iMacros stops automatically when it can no longer find a matching checkbox.
