Create a Macro for Zendesk Ticket Reopenings
How do I create a macro for scheduling ticket reopenings in Zendesk?
Creating a macro in Zendesk helps streamline the process of scheduling ticket reopenings. It ensures that ticket properties are set correctly for automation.
To create a macro, go to the Admin Center and add a new macro. Name it and provide a description. Under 'Actions', set the type to 'Task', status to 'On-hold', and add a tag that the automation will use. This tag differentiates these tickets from others that don't require reopening. Once set up, this macro can be applied by agents to prepare tickets for scheduled reopening.
