I’m having some issues with my macros failing sometimes (rarely, about 5% of the time). This rare failure stops my automatic workflow and is frustrating. It’s often a button which for some reason is not clicked. For what reason I am not sure, but a couple of times I noticed that the cursor hover …

[image] Ian-SAfc: It’s often a button which for some reason is not clicked. Have you tried the actual "Press a Button" Action? Have the page frontmost in Safari then use the Action's "Button" pop-up "Scan front window of: Safari". You'll then have a list of detected buttons as a sub-menu to …

I’ll give that Press Button a try, and also I see Press Button when enabled too. I’ll insert that micro pause in first. I have a tricky scenario. This image below: [image] The checkbox (left hand side) I want to click in only appears when ‘Name’ is hovered over, and it’s been failing there a c…

This might be worth a try: [image] Generate Javascript to Click Webpage Element (WIP) Macro Library Position your mouse over a webpage element and trigger this macro. It will generate Javascript that will do something with the element and copy it to the clipb…

[image] Nige_S: You'll have to inspect the page's code -- if only to find out if the element is there-but-hidden or not there at all until you mouse-over "Name". While in there, have a look to see if the checkbox is using static or dynamically-generated ID or classes -- if static, you might be a…

[image] audiomind: I’d make a macro to press the “LIKE” button on your Press A Button Suggestion if I knew what that was. :winking_face_with_tongue: And that's where it all goes horribly wrong... It is a button, but it has a dynamically generated ID that corresponds to the UID of the post. Y…
