    Is there like an "AND" conditoinal feature for reporting on tags.  Example, I want to know how many tickets we responded to last month that have both TAg_1 and TAg_2?  Thanks.

    Hi Jared,

    Thanks for posting regarding this! To achieve a report for tickets that have two specific tags, you will need to use standard calculated metrics. So for two tags, it would look something like this:

    IF (INCLUDES_ALL([Ticket tags], "united_states","italy")) THEN [Ticket ID] ENDIF

    For more information regarding this, you can check this article here: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022183574-Reporting-with-tags#topic_q5d_dms_jkb

    Hope this helps you out! Cheers!

    Is there a report that show's how many times a particular macro has been used ? In summary form, I'd find this really helpful to track trends etc

    Hey Simon,

    The best way to set this up is to have your macros also apply a tag when they're used. The above recipe would then walk you through creating a report to show macro usage based on those tags. Unfortunately there's no way to report on it outside of applying tags.

    Let us know if you have any other questions!

    I would like to do a report that tracks how many times a macro is used over time (weekly). The macro applies a tag, so the idea would be to count the number of tickets the tag was added to. Is this possible? Thanks

    Hi Ellen,
     
    The best way to do this is via tagging and using Explore -- here's a recipe on. how to set that up: Explore recipe: Reporting on macros using tags

    Hi Dave, that link goes to this article :) The recipe above allows me to see how many tickets exist that have the tag (macro) applied. I want to see how many times the tag (macro) was applied in a given week, over time. Still not clear on how to do that.

    Ellen,

    Yes, this is exactly what I am looking for too.

    I tried the above steps and it gave me a record of each time a certain macro was used with each ticket number. But what I really want is a summary, ie my agents used our 'Cancellation' macro 100 times in a week etc

    Hi Ellen and Simon -
     
    If you want to see how many tickets created per week have given tags, you can modify the above recipe in the following ways:
    1. In step 7, don't add the Ticket > Ticket ID attribute (or remove it, if you've already added it).
    2. If you're wanting to limit your report to specific tags, add a Filter for Ticket > Ticket Tags, and enter the specific tags you want to see data on.
    3. An easy way to set up a chart showing weekly values back to the beginning of the year would be to add another Filter on Date - Ticket Created set to This Year, and then go to Columns and add the attribute Time - Ticket Created > Ticket Created - Week of Year.

    Hello - I'm trying to pull a list of agents who have applied a specific macro to a ticket. Is it possible to get to this data? The tag tracking does not tell me which agent may have applied the macro which triggered the tag.

    I'm looking to do the same thing Amanda has asked about. Anyone got advice on seeing which agents have applied a specific macro?

    Hello there,

    I'm afraid there's currently no option to report on this using the attributes natively available in Explore. This may be possible if there is a dedicated custom field specifically made to track macro usage. You can then utilize the field changes attributes under Updates history to check for the Updater name on these updates.

    Is there a way to filter out "deactivated" macros? I can't find the "active" attribute, but I might be missing it.

    Hi, I'm wondering the same as Andrew - can I filter out Inactive/Deleted macros in my report?

    Hi Bryan and Andrew,

    The report above does not rely on the macro itself but the tags that were added on the macro. Hence, it will not have the capability to report on deleted macros.

    Is there a way to get a report on the tags that haven't been used? - I want my report to show macros that haven't been used at all in 6 months for example.

    Hi Bryan Selwood,

    Zendesk allows you to see 0 usage macros but with 30 days limitation. 

    Our Macros Reporting app includes this information, too + we can sync data beyond the last 30 days period. 👇

    Is there a way to report on when a particular tag was added? In the example given in this article, triggering the macro would add the tag unique_macro_tag. I'm looking to create a report/dashboard of all tickets with this tag, and be able to filter it to when this tag was added.

    Hi Joey Tabush - Yes, you should be able to accomplish this by creating a report using the Support: Updates History dataset. I already had something similar, a report where I'm looking for a specific tag related to escalation macros. So I changed things around a bit to demonstrate, I think, what you're looking for:

    First create the calculated metric in the Updates History dataset. This will be how you find the tickets with the tag you're interested in. Here's what mine looks like:

    IF (CONTAINS([Changes - New value], "eng_escalation_side_conversation-macro")) THEN
        [Ticket ID]
    ENDIF

    Then create a report, using the calculated metric in the "Metrics" area. And in the "Rows" area of the report builder add the Update - Timestamp attribute. I added Ticket ID also which I think would probably be useful.

    End result looks like this:

     You'd probably also end up wanting to hid the 4th column with the ticket count. You can do that under Chart Configuration > Columns

    There might be a better way to do this, but this is what I came up with from my starting point. Cheers!

    Edit - For your calculated metric you may also want to add an AND condition to check if the tag was already on the ticket (below). Or you may want to do a D_COUNT. I had to experiment a bit with these for my report to find what was most appropriate for my use case. I can't exactly remember but I think subsequent updates to the ticket will re-apply all of the existing ticket tags which may necessitate the AND condition to make sure that the tag is being added for the first time to the ticket. You may need to play around with it a bit but I think this should at least get you close. Good luck!

    IF (CONTAINS([Changes - New value], "eng_escalation_side_conversation-macro") AND NOT CONTAINS([Changes - Previous value], "eng_escalation_side_conversation-macro")) THEN
        [Ticket ID]
    ENDIF

    Pessoal, alguém sabe se o Zendesk tem uma previsão para disponibilizar métricas de macros, gatilhos e automações no Explorer?

    Precisamos saber a quantidade de macros aplicadas por agente e quais são as macros que eles usam.

    Is there a way to create a report that has the tag usage for the month and not have to create a separate report for each tag?

    Hello Michelle,

    I have found another recipe that you can use to report on the most frequent tags used in your account: Explore recipe: Viewing the most common tags in tickets
