ALTERNATIVES

#1. Relaunch the macro every time it ends. (even though you could use their API in their Enterprise Edition $995.00)

#2. You may need to run some JavaScript in the page you may visit to change their behavior.

#3. You can connect iMacros to a database, but I think that there are better tools for these situations. Besides, MongoDB is not available.
