Email display for aol, gmail, yahoo fails

Post by rmcgaffic » Wed Sep 09, 2015 11:09 pm

Is MacroScheduler capable of DISPLAYING email messages?

I am a new user, and have scanned through the manual and samples in the trial version. There is only 2 pages of documentation on the WebRecorder and no samples on display of email.

I can’t get MacroScheduler to display email messages in either Gmail, AOL, or Yahoo.

Here’s a very simple scenario:

I would like to display all of my Yahoo email messages which contain the word “Oil” to display messages from oil change vendors.
I have attached a video of what I’ve done and have attached my WebRecorder script below. I’ve replaced my real user and password name with XXXXXX, but have made no other changes to the script that WebRecorder generated.

Any ideas of why MacroScheduler seems to stop dead in its tracks at the login screen for these three email websites?

Where's the code for searching for messages that contain OIL after logon as shown in the attached video?


Sorry, there is no video. This forum software has failed to upload a flash video, instead it opens a new message form where you can again retype your message text. Maybe the forum software needs MacroScheduler to avoid repetitive typing. I've typed this message five times tonight!

I tried to upload the zipped flash video, and it failed again. MacroScheduler posts no size limits, and a zipped file of less than five minutes should easily be uploadable.

This forum software deleted my original message and I had to retype this again.

Assuming that MacroScheduler does not have the desired functionality, can anyone recommend a good macro recorder that can display email messages? Thanks.

Try changing all occurrences of this:

Code: Select all

{"ACTION:/?.src=ym&.intl=us&.lang=en-US&.done=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.yahoo.com"}
To this:

Code: Select all
