One-Click Macro

A one-click macro in Zoho Desk is a macro displayed as a quick-action button on tickets, letting agents apply common action sets instantly.

A one-click macro in Zoho Desk is a macro that appears as a quick-action button directly on the ticket view. Agents can apply these common action sets without opening the macro menu, making repetitive responses faster.

How One-Click Macros Differ from Regular Macros

All macros can be accessed through the macro dropdown in the ticket view. One-click macros are promoted to visible buttons on the ticket interface for the fastest possible access. Administrators designate which macros appear as one-click buttons.

Designing Effective One-Click Macros

The best candidates for one-click macros are the most frequently used action sets in a team’s daily work, such as ‘Send Acknowledgement’, ‘Escalate to Tier 2’, or ‘Mark Resolved with Template’. These should be standardised so all agents apply them consistently.

Improving Agent Efficiency

One-click macros reduce the number of steps agents take to complete routine actions. In high-volume support environments, shaving 30 seconds per ticket across hundreds of tickets per day has a measurable impact on agent productivity and ticket throughput.

Example: A travel company’s support team handles many ‘Flight Delay Compensation’ requests. The team lead creates a one-click macro that sends the compensation policy reply, adds the ‘Compensation’ tag, and updates the ticket to ‘Awaiting Customer Confirmation’ in one button click.
