Automate form filling in Chrome

To automate form filling in Chrome with Replayo, you record yourself filling the form once. Replayo captures each field, the value you typed and the order you did it in, then re-types the whole thing on replay. There is no autofill profile to configure, no selectors to write and no extension rules to maintain.

Why browser autofill is not enough

Chrome's built-in autofill is built around identity: name, address, card, phone. It is very good at that and useless at everything else. The forms that actually cost you time are usually:

• Internal tools — a ticketing form, an inventory update, a timesheet, where the same five values go in every day.
• Filtered reports — a date range, a region, a status, applied identically every morning before you can read the number you came for.
• Multi-step forms — where step two only appears after step one is submitted, so no autofill tool can see it in advance.
• Dropdowns, checkboxes and toggles — which autofill largely ignores.

A recorder does not care about any of that distinction. If you clicked it or typed it, it is part of the macro.

How to record a form fill

1. Open the form as you normally would, already signed in.
2. Click Record in the Replayo toolbar popup.
3. Fill the form once, exactly as usual — typing, dropdowns, checkboxes, the submit click if you want it included.
4. Stop recording. The macro is saved under a name you give it and runs once immediately so you can see it work.
5. Replay it whenever you need the form filled again — one click from the popup.

If the form is part of a recurring routine rather than an on-demand one, you can put the macro on a schedule so it runs every 30 minutes, hourly, or daily at a set time.

What gets captured — and what does not

Replayo records clicks, typed values, element selectors and page URLs, and stores them in your browser's local extension storage. Recorded values are stored the same way, which means two practical rules:

• Do not record a password field or anything you would not want stored in your browser profile — stay signed in instead and record from the page after login.
• Values are fixed at record time. A macro replays the values you typed. If the form needs a different value each run, a recorder is the wrong tool for it.

Handy variations

Fill and read the result back

Many forms are really queries: you fill filters to get to a number. While recording, you can point at the element holding that number and Replayo will email you its value every run — so you get the answer without opening the page.

Same form, several sites

Record one macro per site. Each macro is independent, so a change to one portal does not break the others.

Long forms across pages

Multi-page forms record fine as long as the flow is the same each time — the macro follows navigation the way you did.

Frequently asked questions

How do I automate filling a form in Chrome without code?

Install a macro recorder like Replayo, open the form, press Record, fill the form once as you normally would, then stop recording. The saved macro re-types the same values whenever you replay it, and can also be scheduled to run automatically.

Can Replayo fill a different value each time?

No. A macro replays the values captured while recording, so it is best suited to forms you complete identically each time. Forms that need per-run data are a better fit for a tool with data-driven loops.

Is it safe to record a form with sensitive data?

Recorded values are stored in your browser's local extension storage and are not uploaded, but you should still avoid recording passwords or payment details. Stay signed in and start the recording after login instead.

Does it work on internal or intranet tools?

Yes — Replayo works on any page you can open in Chrome, including internal dashboards and admin panels, because it replays in your own logged-in browser session.
