iMacros for Chrome 8.4.4
Windows Vista SP2 x64 German
Google Chrome Version 49.0.2623.112 m
Hi,
is it possible that iMacros for Chrome or FF is reading data from a website and then start a macro?
A simply if --> then macro.
To better explanation i added a picture in attachments.
somethink like, if there stands "4 Gold je 1 Einheit" then put in the Box before "9999999999"...
sorry for my bad english.
Thanks for help.

Re: Read data from Website?
Euh..., no you cannot have "if stg appears or changes" => "then start a Macro", the Macro must be already started from the beginning...marcomo wrote:Hi,Code: Select all

But it is possible to have a Macro started, that will be waiting and checking your "4 Gold je 1 Einheit" Field with 'WAIT' + 'REFRESH' or 'URL GOTO' if you need to refresh/reload the Page for your Field to appear/change or with a long '!TIMEOUT_STEP' Setting if that Field will appear/change dynamically without requiring a Refresh/Reload of the Page, combined in both cases with "Relative Positioning" to fill in the "9999999999" Value in the Input Field.

Re: Read data from Website?
Hi,
yes I meant that what you say. I start the macro and it is checking for change (the change is every 15 Minutes), then if the "prices" are good it fill the input field.
So, how can I do that? I know how to fill the input field, but I dont know how can I check for change etc.?
Can you give me an explanation?
Thank you.

Well, I already gave you the "Explanation" about the 2 Cases depending on how you "find out" for Changes...marcomo wrote:Hi,

Without being able to look at your Site and without any Script posted, I cannot be more precise... You need to understand the Principle and/or give more Info if you get stuck...
And to be honest your overall Post is very vague, I only answered because you perfectly mentioned your FCI (read my Sig...) which many (new) Users don't do, as an "Encouragement" for you, but the rest of your OQ (Original Question) is pretty vague and of "low quality" (in technical terms for a Technical Forum)...
Hum, and "if you get stuck..." means "if you REALLY get stuck, after you've tried your best", and you mention what you've tried and where exactly you get stuck, nobody will be writing your Script for you, ah-ah...! (Which anyway is impossible without access to the Page/Site...)

I don't need any access to the page for solving this issue, because it seems to be coded just with few lines.chivracq wrote:(Which anyway is impossible without access to the Page/Site...)
@marcomo, leave your mail and I will send you my suggestion.
P.S. I am not a spammer and ready to help, but this is the reason why I don't want to share some solutions here so far.
Re: Read data from Website?
sorry chivracq, I am just a noob at this tool and writing macros. I dont understand your explanation, i even cant find it.
I can give you the link to the website, but you need to register to have access.
Thanks iimfun, my email addy is:

Yes I think its a very simple coded site.

(Trying their best to find a Solution by themselves and sharing their Solution once they get it to work are btw 2 "Criteria" for me about "using the Forum a bit correctly" to keep helping Users (in future Threads) on the Forum... (+ Descriptive Thread Title + FCI mentioned + Neat Follow-up that you all 3 do/did perfectly...))

Re: Read data from Website?
Believe me, I really want to understand that. I tried to find a solution for this many hours, but i dont get it.
I know about wait, url go to, refresh, and relative postioning commands, but I dont know how can I get the macro done that its check the lines for change.
Which command I must use for that? I cant find it anywhere...
PS: can you please remove my email from your Quote, thank you.

(But I guess you probably already have a working Script by now if your E-mail Address can be removed, so I find it a bit "fake" to still "pretend" to want to understand and come to a Solution if you already have one...)
Hum, and I'm a bit skeptical about the "tried for many hours" if you couldn't even find my Explanation... And you should then mention what you've tried and where you get stuck...
But OK when I "analytically" visually reorganize my "Explanation", I mention again 2 Cases, Case_1 OR Case_2, this is actually an (indirect) Question which you don't answer, which Case applies to you...? How does the Site/Page behave as we cannot have a look at it...?
And post the 2 Lines that get recorded if you tag the '4 Gold je 1 Einheit' Field that you will use as Anchor for Relative Positioning (and might need to extract) before filling the "9999999999" in the Input Field...? And yep Advanced Users like @iimfun and me can probably guess those 2 Lines but that's not our role, this Info should have been posted already in your Opening Post...
