Troubleshooting Missing Macros in Zendesk
Why can't I find my newly created macro in Zendesk?
If you can't find your newly created macro in Zendesk, it might be due to the need to refresh your page. Newly created macros may not appear in the dropdown list or search results until the page is refreshed.
If refreshing doesn't resolve the issue, ensure that the macro is correctly configured and that you have the necessary permissions to view and apply it. If problems persist, consider reaching out to your Zendesk administrator for further assistance.
