I am trying to monitor rental properties. I want to auto apply. I have set everything as seen in the file it just goes and clicks stuff which worked fine before. But just now it started not to load. I have increased my macro actions. No help.

Just a blank white screen: chrome-extension://-some long text–/common/blank.html

@e.bilgili Thanks for reaching out.

To help us investigate the issue, could you please share your **monitor configuration** and **macro configuration** files with us? We can load them and take a closer look to understand why the macro is now opening a blank screen.

Please email the files to **[support@distill.io](mailto:support@distill.io)**.

**To export the monitor configuration (JSON):**  
You can follow the steps in this guide:  
[https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/how-to-export-and-import-monitors/#step-by-step-export-process](https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/how-to-export-and-import-monitors/#step-by-step-export-process)

**To export the macro configuration:**

1. Go to the **Macros page**.

2. Locate your macro.

3. Click the **“Export Macro”** button beside it.

4. This will download the macro configuration file, which you can then share with us.

Once we receive the files, we’ll test them on our side and guide you further.

Hi there

Thank you. I have realised the issue has to do with macro crashing due to not being able to work with dynamically written code.

There are items (elements) that i want to iterate through on The website so i used a for loop. I decleared a variable $i then put it something like

Section.item-list:nth-type($i) then used the functiobs like element text to read each listing.

It just crashed the macro. I could not figure out a way and I was just wasting my macros.

I switch to static code so i know the list will not be longer than ex 10 i just copy paste the code 10 times trough 1-10.

That fixed the issue but i am still confused why it did not work.

@e.bilgili Thanks for the update and for sharing what you found.Running macros with local monitors can sometimes have limitations compared to cloud monitors. Glad to hear that switching to a static approach resolved the issue for you.

If you run into something similar again, feel free to reach out to us via [support@distill.io](mailto:support@distill.io) and share the monitor and macro configuration files. That allows us to load them in our environment and debug the behavior more effectively, which helps us guide you toward a better solution.
