Reason for Zendesk's Macro Visibility Update

Discover why Zendesk updated macro visibility for admins, enhancing macro management and oversight.

Why did Zendesk make the change to macro visibility for admins?

Zendesk made this change to provide admins with a complete picture of all macros in their account without needing to use the API. This visibility helps admins identify effective macros that can be shared with all agents or spot macros that may not be suitable for the brand.

By allowing admins to view personal macros, Zendesk aims to streamline macro management and ensure that all macros align with the company's standards and practices. This change is part of Zendesk's ongoing efforts to enhance the functionality and usability of the Admin Center.
