Trouble Activating
If you encounter any errors or have any issues activating the license, please contact our Customer Service.
First Steps
After you have installed the iMacros extension in your browser you will see the iMacros icon in the toolbar, which is used to open the iMacros sidebar. First we recommend that you look at a few demo macros. After this start recording your own first macro. To get started, a simple website like this wiki or our company website are good. To record, open the iMacros sidebar and click the record button. When you are done recording, click the stop button. You can then playback the macro or view/edit the macro code.
Spend some time to get familiar with this wiki, it has lots of in-depth information on all iMacros functionality, as well as have a look at the Resources page on the iMacros website.
Getting Help
For issues activating the license, see the above section. If you run into any other issues, please don't hesitate to reach out on the iMacros forums. Take a good look through the forums before asking your question, we might already have a solution or work around available!
