Automate iMacros as Firefox Starts
Hi! Before I start my inquiry, I just want to say that iMacros is certainly a powerful and easy to use tool. Kudos for you, guys especially for giving us Free editions. =)
Anyways, here's the scenario. I have different registration URLs that is composed of 4 pages each registration URL. The iMacros will just auto fill the forms and see if it will reach the 4th page without any issues. The iMacros should run every hour playing the records created, all through out the day. So it will be 24/7 operation.
Say, we have 25 registration URL and we create the 25 iMacros, is there a way to automate the playing of iMacros as windows starts? I have included firefox in the start up program so it will load once the windows starts. The next part is playing the iMacros in firefox without someone managing it.
Any other idea on how I can automate this type of recording in Firefox is very much welcome. It's not that I'm refraining from buying the paid version since it's definitely a powerful tool but I just want to explore and maximize the possibilities that this Free iMacros extension can do with our minimal requirements.

Re: Automate iMacros as Firefox Starts
there is a way to do this, and i think it has been answered. you'll need to use batch and scripting edition. it won't be easy if your a rookie. you need some experience. if your a rookie you'll need some time to learn some tricks.
try a google search using the batch keyword

Re: Automate iMacros as Firefox Starts
I see. You're right. I have to buy and be verse at the same time with the Scripting edition.
Thanks!
Anyways, for those who have tried other automation in Free edition, your suggestions are most welcome.

Re: Automate iMacros as Firefox Starts
See the following post for information on how to start an iMacros for Firefox macro from a shortcut. You could then put this shortcut in your Startup program group, or schedule it to run with Windows Task Scheduler.

Re: Automate iMacros as Firefox Starts
Hi! Tom
Thanks for your response. Our team has decided to buy the paid editions. I'm not sure if we really need the scripting edition but maybe anyone can help me decide. As I've said, our testing requirements are minimal. Here's again a brief scenario of what we want to achieve
- We have 25 different registration pages, each with 4-page to accomplish.
- iMacros will just play the testing/filling of forms until it reaches 4th page without any issues. We might include screenshots in between pages and time loads.
- all 25 registration pages should run every hour, 24/7
I'm thinking of 25 different recordings that will be consolidated and will run every hour. Any idea how should it be done? Or what version do we need - Pro or Scripting? Thanks again for your help...

Re: Automate iMacros as Firefox Starts
I tried consolidating the iim files using .bat and schedule it using the Windows Scheduler. Any other tips are welcome. Thanks again!
