⏸️ Flow

Pause a macro mid-run in RunMacro

What it does

The Pause command stops the script at its position and waits until you press the resume hotkey (default F8). Use it when a manual step is needed mid-automation.

When to use it

Wait for you to input something manually (e.g. solve a captcha) before continuing.
Inspect the state mid-run before proceeding.
Pause to observe while testing a workflow.

Configuration steps

Add a Flow › Pause command where you want to stop.
Run the script — it halts at this point.
Press the resume hotkey (default F8) to continue. Save.

Real example

Example: pause to enter a verification code

Automate up to the code-entry screen.
Add Pause — the macro waits for you.
Type the code manually then press F8 to continue.

Tips & common mistakes

The resume hotkey may differ if you changed it in settings — RunMacro logs which key to press.
