Build a username from an existing name in RunMacro

What it does

The Generate Username from Name command takes a full name (usually from a variable), strips accents, shuffles the parts in various ways, and appends digits to form a valid username. The result is saved to a variable.

When to use it

You have a full name and want a matching username.
Register accounts with a name-based username.
Chain it after Random Name.

Configuration steps

Have a variable with the full name (e.g. {fullname}).
Add a Random › Generate Username from Name command.
Enter the name template (e.g. {fullname}) and a result variable.
(Optional) enable append digits. Save.

Every option explained

Name template

A string holding the name, supports {...} variables. RunMacro splits and combines it into a username.

Result variable

The variable to store the generated username (default username).

Append digits

Adds 2–5 digits (and sometimes a letter) at the end to avoid collisions.

Real example

Example: name to username

Random Name → variable fullname.
Generate Username from Name: template {fullname} → variable uname.
Fill {uname} in the username field.

Tips & common mistakes

Enable append-digits to reduce username collisions during bulk sign-ups.
