How to distribute Macros via Website: Test Page
Run embedded UI.Vision RPA macros
Embedded UI.Vision RPA macros are a great way to distribute macros to users, for example to help them with certain tasks
on your website. This website contains three embedded macros. You can use your browser’s «View page source» function to inspect this website – and you will see the embedded macros. The macro code is exactly the same as you
can find on the source code tab.
To run these macros, you first have to allow it. (If you don’t allow to run embedded macros, UI.Vision RPA will show a dialog with an error message).
^This macro fills out the input box ↓:
^This macro fills out a Google Docs Survey form.
^This is the same macro as the first one, but now it contains the closeRPA: 0 flag
in the Javascript for this call,
so UI.Vision RPA stays open after the macro run is completed.
Also, the macro runs in a new tab because we use the selectWindow | TAB=OPEN | https://docs…. command
to open page.
^This macro goes to 7zip.org and downloads the software. (7zip is not related to ui.vision in any way).
^This macro goes runs the embedded version of the DemoVisualUITest demo macro (Visual UI testing with image recognition).
The remote image feature requires UI.Vision RPA V5.5.3 and higher.
Allow embedded macros to run
In order to run macros that are embedded in a website you have to first allow it (step 1 in the screenshot below). The default
setting is OFF (do not run embedded macros). Once you allow such macros in general, you will see a dialog box
asking for permission to run such macros. If you want to avoid this warning dialog for certain websites (for example your own internal website), then you can add
this website to the website whitelist (step 2 in the screenshot below):
«Steal» the Javascript snippets directly from this page
You can copy and reuse the Javascript that sends the UI.Vision RPA macro from the page to the RPA software. The code is directly on this page. In the browser, right-click
and select «View page source» to view it.
The only part that needs to be changed is the macro JSON code. You can also give each macro a different name. Macros with the same name get simply overwritten,
so UI.Vision RPA runs always the latest version that is on the page.
