A link changes every time I visit the web page (“session ID”), how can I replay the macro without error?
Some websites create links with a “session id” that is different each time you log in. This is no problem for iMacros. There are two options to work with such links: (1) Change the Click Mode from “Automatic” to “Use Link Name”. This forces iMacros to record the link text (e. g. “Click here”) instead of the URL of the link. (2) If you want or need to use the URL, edit the macro manually after you recorded it and replace the id (or any other changing part of the string) with the wildcard *. This method is described in detail in Fine Tune TAG Commands.
