Abstract
A computer-implemented method of managing computer macros is discussed. This method includes identifying a macro stored at a hosted computer system, executing the macro by traversing lines of commands in the macro, and identifying one of a plurality of different services that are responsive to macros. The method also includes converting a command in the macro from a format associated with a macro language in which the macro is authored, to a command format associated with the identified one of the plurality of different services and providing information received from the one of a plurality of different services to the macro or an application corresponding to the macro, after converting the information into a format usable by the macro or the application corresponding to the macro.
