Assigning Macros via Zendesk API to Users or Groups
Can I use the Zendesk API to assign a macro to a user or group?
Yes, you can use the Zendesk Macro API to assign a macro to a user or group. To do this, you need to add an additional key to the restriction parameter when creating the macro. This involves specifying the type as either 'Group' or 'User' and providing the ID of the group or user.
The restriction object is crucial here, as it defines who can access the macro. If you want all agents to have access, you can simply omit this property. However, if you want to restrict access, you must specify the type and the corresponding ID. For more detailed information, you can refer to theoriginal Zendesk help article.
