Using @mentions in Zendesk Macros
Can I use @mentions in Zendesk macros?
Currently, @mentions cannot be used in Zendesk macros. The feature requires manual selection from an autocomplete menu.
While macros can automate many tasks, @mentions need to be manually entered by typing '@' followed by the agent's name and selecting from the menu. This limitation is by design, but you can suggest it as a feature request in Zendesk's Product Feedback forums.
