I’m using a macro to login to a website and then click a link after I log in. I set this macro up a few months ago and it used to work. Now, I can login but the link that I click on the website in the macro recorder doesn’t direct me to the link. I tried out some of the other buttons that would take me to different links and none of them take me to a different page. This works if I just login to the site from Chrome but just doesn’t seem to work in the macro recorder. It used to work in the past.

Does anyone know if something changed or if there is a different way to do it?

@wthoutpapers will it work for you if you explicitly opened the link after logging in without the need to click? it can be done using `open` step in a macro. following screenshot shows how to add a custom step manually:

a `click` step is added by default. it can then be replaced with `open` as shown below:
