Zendesk Suite trial: Saving time with macros

What's my plan?






All Suites

Team, Growth, Professional, Enterprise, or Enterprise Plus






As part of setting up your Zendesk Suite trial, you have the opportunity to make
changes to your account in addition to the basic tasks and email setup.
Zendesk provides a setup wizard that you can use to create macros for
support requests that can be solved with a single, standard response or action. Macros are
pre-configured responses that save agents the time and effort of manually responding to
multiple customers with the same issue.To learn more, see Creating macros for repetitive ticket responses and actions.

Starting the setup wizard for macros

After you’ve wrapped up the basic trial tasks for Zendesk Suite,
start the setup wizard for macros. The wizard helps you set up a few macros you can use to
reply to common issues and save time for your agents.
To set up macros

In Support, click Home
( ) in the sidebar.
On Agent Home, click a ticket to open it.
Scroll to the bottom of the ticket and click the Apply macro menu
The menu
contains a list of standard macros included with your trial along
with a link to create additional macros.


Click Create a macro to start the wizard.




Adding macros

The wizard shows a list of macros that you can add to save time for your agents. As you
work through the wizard, you'll see a description of the actions each macro takes and the
ticket comments the macro adds.

To add macros

In the wizard, select the macro you want to add.
When you select a macro, a description appears to show you what the macro does when you
apply it to a ticket.
Actions describe the changes that the macro
automatically makes to the ticket when it’s applied and Comment shows the comment the macro automatically adds to the
ticket.
The macro details also show the expected benefit associated
with the macro. For example, expedited ticket resolutions.

Before you add the macro, you can make changes to customize it, including:
Changing the name of the macro
Selecting a different ticket status
Editing the comment


After you finish making changes, click Activate. After a few moments, the
wizard automatically activates the macro you selected and adds it to your account.
Agents will be able to apply this macro from the Apply macros menu.


Click Create another macro to continue adding more macros from the list or click
Done to finish the wizard.
You can update the macros you added anytime by opening them in Admin Center. See Organizing and managing your macros.
