WebAction: Web Automation Tool for Windows

Used WebAction: Web Automation Tool for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffJuly 15, 2015

We admire WebAction's reliability and ease of use, despite its limited functionality. This macro program for Windows XP simply records and replays your actions in Internet Explorer. It might, for example, automatically log on to a mail account, fill out a long form, download a file, or refresh a site at scheduled intervals. The program worked smoothly in our tests, and we found its interface intuitive. It adds an attractive Explorer bar to IE, with Record, Play, and Stop buttons and a folder tree of macros. Other features include the ability to place shortcuts on the desktop and to directly edit WebAction's XML files. Surprisingly, WebAction does not support hot keys, which seems like a major oversight. However, if you want a simple yet efficient tool for Web automation, WebAction fits the bill.

Huge Time Saver! Easy to use.

Pros
I was spending about three hours a week downloading sales reports, now I get all my reports in about 10 minutes. <p>Blends in with Windows and the file structure is what I am used to as a Windows user (creating a My WebAction directory in My Documents, saving your files in a file tree, and even allowing shortcuts on your desktop). <p> <p>I'm a fairly new user to this product, so I am sure that there are more uses, but for the time savings (and cost savings!) by downloading reports--this is HUGE. I love it. <p> <p>Very easy to use, very professional.
