Use macros for faster, consistent replies
Macros are reusable actions that help agents handle common conversation patterns quickly and consistently.
Where to find it
Open Settings → Productivity → Macros.
When to use macros
Use macros when your team repeatedly performs the same sequence, such as:
- Asking for missing account details
- Sending verification or next-step instructions
- Escalating to a specialist workflow
- Applying labels and setting priority in one action
Create a macro
- Open Settings → Productivity → Macros.
- Select Create macro.
- Name the macro clearly by intent.
- Add the actions the macro should run.
- Save and test on a non-critical conversation.
Macro design guidelines
- Keep each macro focused on one clear outcome.
- Prefer short, explicit text over long generic responses.
- Avoid overlapping macros that do nearly the same thing.
- Review usage monthly and retire low-value macros.
Tips for safe rollout
- Start with high-volume use cases first.
- Keep one owner for macro quality and naming.
- Validate macro behavior after UI or workflow changes.
