    Hi Brett,

    Thanks for sharing this.

    Question: how is your report in Explore looking at to track escalation tickets?

    Thanks

    Hi Thomas,

    Since my macro applies a tag when I'm escalating the ticket I would use the following report: Explore recipe: Reporting on macros using tags.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Brett,

    Is there a way to enforce teams to use a macro when creating or replying to tickets?

    Can it be made mandatory?

     

    Also is there a way to flag a custom field if it is repeated.

    e.g. Order ID.

    When there is a new ticket with the same Order ID as an existing unsolved ticket can it flag the agent?

    Hey Team Leader,

    There's no way to make macros mandatory, however, you set it up so macros apply a tag. Then if a ticket is updated but doesn't contain that tag included with the macro, you can create a trigger that notifies a Team Lead or manager. Let me know if you need help setting this up.

    As for your second question, are the order numbers being populated in a numeric or text field? I can't think of a way for a trigger to check for duplicates unfortunately :-/

    Perhaps others can jump in here and offer up some advice.
