1. The Macro Name helps support agents decide which macro to use. The name is used when agents search for macros, so it’s useful to use a short name (so that agents can see it in the macros list) that succinctly identifies the macro’s purpose.
2. Although Description is optional, it is useful for helping support agents to understand what the macro does.
3. The macro instructions are like a little computer program, so you must tell the macro each step, or instruction, to perform. Each instruction is equivalent to a click that the support agent makes when manually performing the task. The first macro instruction selects the object that the macro acts upon, such as the Active Case Tab.
4. The second macro instruction specifies the context, or component of the Salesforce Console for Service, in which the macro works. For example, the Email Action context allows the macro to set fields and perform actions within the Email Publisher. Note If aSalesforce Console for Service component isn’t enabled and configured, then you can’tcreate a macro for it.
5. The third macro instruction specifies the action that the macro performs. For example, the macro in the screenshot changes the value for the CC Address field in an email action in the active case tab.
6. You can add an additional set of instructions in the same context or in a different context. A simple macro just performs one task. Create more complex macros by adding instructions.
