Manage, audit, and improve your Zendesk macros Macros Reporting and Management gives Zendesk admins and CX leaders one place to understand macro performance, organize large macro libraries, track changes, and safely recover from mistakes. Turn reporting insights into action without relying on spreadsheets, one-by-one edits, or custom scripts. Manage your macro library at scale With Macros Management, you can: Find and organize macros quickly across brands, groups, categories, status, usage, labels, and other attributes. Bulk edit macros to update titles, access, status, and multiple macro actions in one controlled flow. Bulk reorder macros across multiple pages, with filters applied, instead of rearranging macros one at a time. Save the current table setup as custom views, or use predefined views to find unused, low-impact, outdated, or recently changed macros. See exactly when each macro was last used. Use custom labels to mark macros for review, cleanup, approval, or deprecation. Activate, deactivate, label, delete, and update macros in bulk. Export macros for audits, cleanup projects, backups, or large-scale reviews. Keep deleted macros visible for review instead of losing their context immediately. Track every change with macro history See how each macro has changed over time with a clear, readable history. Review when a macro was created, updated, reordered, deleted, restored, or rolled back. See who made the change and whether it came from Zendesk or Macros Reporting and Management. Compare changes to comments, tags, ticket fields, access rules, status, and other macro actions. Add an optional reason when making changes through the app. Keep a reliable audit trail for governance, troubleshooting, and internal reviews. Recover deleted macros and roll back changes Fix mistakes without losing visibility into what happened. Restore a deleted macro as a new Zendesk macro, with validation and a preview before anything is created. Navigate between the original deleted macro and its restored copies. Roll back an existing macro to any earlier version while keeping the same Zendesk macro ID. Preview the exact changes before rollback, including comments, tags, ticket fields, title, access, and active state. Preserve the full history chain — rollback creates a new latest version instead of removing newer history. Built-in safety checks prevent stale updates, duplicate submissions, invalid references, and unsafe retries. Understand macro performance and adoption Use detailed reporting to identify productivity gaps and improve how agents work with macros. Discover usage trends and adoption patterns across teams and agents. Spot cherry-picking and identify knowledge gaps through agent-level macro usage. Find unused or underused macros and prioritize cleanup. Identify high-impact macros that need attention based on One-Touch Rate and Satisfaction Rate. Drill into individual macros to understand their performance in more detail. Connect reporting data directly to management actions. Macros Management, macro history, deleted-macro recovery, and rollback are available as part of the Pro plan. Reporting capabilities are available on other paid plans; advanced management and versioning features require Pro. Getting started Start with a free 14-day trial. No credit card required.
