A macro consists of one or more actions that modify the values of a ticket's fields. Macros are applied to tickets manually by agents. For example, you can create macros for support requests that agents can answer with a single, standard response. For more information, see Using macros to update and add comments to tickets.

JSON format

Macros are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name Type Read-only Mandatory Description
actions array false true Each action describes what the macro will do. See Actions reference
active boolean false false Useful for determining if the macro should be displayed
created_at string false false The time the macro was created
default boolean true false If true, the macro is a default macro
description string false false The description of the macro
id integer false false The ID automatically assigned when a macro is created
position integer false false The position of the macro
restriction object false false Access to this macro. A null value allows unrestricted access for all users in the account
title string false true The title of the macro
updated_at string false false The time of the last update of the macro
