Thread: So I Made My First Bot With Imacros

The truth is that with Imacros you really do not need Roboform once you have the columns populated in the csv datasource file. There are fields that Roboform does not fill in and that is where Imacros really shines.

Where Roboform really helps save time is in filling in basic forms when you make your first pass to record the fields at the websites you want to automate.

Oh my bad guys, you should save the csv (comma delimited) in this directory :

Documents/Imacros/Datasources


This wont work "Documents/Imacros" it has to be

" Documents/Imacros/Datasources "

I'm glad you made this post. Today I started messing around with iMacros and I was able to pick up a few tips from you that were helpful.

My macro kept breaking for some reason and it was getting really frustrating. I finally realized the problem was with the speed of the macro. I had it set as fast and one of the steps wasn't loading fast enough for the macro, so my whole macro was breaking. I finally set the macro to medium speed and now it is working like a charm.

Gogetta, can you explain a little more about how you pull data from a .csv file or point me in the right direction to some documentation that shows how to do this? If I could figure out how to run a loop where it pull a new row from a .csv file each time that would be awesome!!! I'd owe you a big thank you.

Hi,
I want to run a loop of urls for example
http:domain.com/customer_ID=1
Msg:Hello Customer
Thanks for your order you would like this product check it.
Submit.

I want to change the customer_ID incremental as+1 after each submit

can you help me with that.

I actually just found and followed this tutorial to setup a .csv file for loops.

Zappak, just follow this tutorial that is easy to understand and you should be able to do what you want and more.

can you use proxies with iMacros?

I don't think you can use roboform, I think the last time I tried to use imacro you could not click above the toolbar. But that was awhile ago.

If your going to use both like that, then go get a copy of AutoIT macro scripting, and automate the two.

I actually use autoIT script for most of my macro scripts/bots. I can simulate clicks and typing with ease. It also has an activeX/com server that I can use with other scripting languages like Python and use their database tools, and it doesn't matter what browser I want to use.

If you use the database features of the Imacro and your okay with only using one browser, or rather being tied to one browser for that sort of thing, there really isn't a need to make it more of a headache by adding another program to the mix.

I don't think we'll be sharing macro scripts. Macro's are usually extremely customized and usually people use them when they have their own proprietary system developed. Also, macros are not new. The iMacros plugin for firefox has been around for a while.

Yeah you can use proxies. If your browser is set with a proxy its on anyway.

or here is how you can just add a proxy command. http://wiki.imacros.net/PROXY

Another command that I use is the "CLEAR", This clears all cookies, as far as I know you can't set it to delete cookies for just one domain, it has to be all cookies.

The video is coming guys just give me some time.
