Video tutorial

To create a new task in Task Scheduler:

1. Save the macro as a Macro Recorder *.mrf file.
2. Copy the file path incl. File name to the clipboard (Windows: Right-click the macro file and select "Copy as path").
3. Open Windows Task Scheduler.
4. In Task Scheduler, click "Create basic task".
5. Give the new task a meaningful name.
6. Configure the execution schedule as needed.
7. Select "Start a program".
8. Enter the path to Macro Recorder executable (default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MacroRecorder\MacroRecorder.exe").
9. Under "Add arguments" enter the command-line parameter -play="c:/path/yourmacro.mrf" (replace with the actual macro file path):
   
   

After completing the wizard with "Finish", Windows Task Scheduler will create a new task and execute the macro as configured.

If Macro Recorder is executed in intercals, consider adding the command line parameter -close which unloads Macro Recorder after each macro execution.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to exist an easy-to-use Scheduler equivalent on the Mac.
