Creating a Macro for Agents to Close Tickets

Find out how to create a macro in Zendesk for agents to close tickets. Ensure the closing process is triggered automatically.

How do I create a macro for agents to close tickets?

To create a macro for agents to close tickets, you need to set up an action that adds the 'closenow' tag to a ticket. This macro ensures that agents don't forget to add the necessary tag, which triggers the closing process. When the macro is applied to a ticket, it automatically adds the tag, activating the trigger that closes the ticket.

This is a crucial step in the workflow for manually closing tickets in Zendesk.
