Macros enables users to perform the set of sequential actions – repetitive and monotonous –  in a more process complaint manner, which can be reused across different sessions, making it faster, more efficient and less error prone.

To define a Macro, navigate to Omnichannel Administration app > Agent Experience > Macros

The interface is similar to Power Automate with some predefined automation actions.

Session Connector has the following actions >

Now back to our Macro, select Productivity Automation trigger.

Select the action Start macro execution.

Select Clone current record.

Specify the title of the cloned record.

Let us create a new Agent Script with Agent Script step having Action Type as Macro.

Navigate to Omnichannel Administration > Agent Experience > Agent Script and create a new Agent Script.

Follow it by adding a new Agent script step.

Below is our Agent script step record

which is associated with the Agent Script record

Now to test it let us open an existing record within a new session (Shift + record click) within Customer Service Workspace.

Select Clone Record for the record to be opened in the new session.

As expected selecting on Clone Record – opens the clone of the record in a new Tab as shown below

We can also check the run history of the Macro using View run history option

That was a very basic example we saw, now with the option of running flow i.e. Run Flow as Macro using the Flow Connector, the possibility is limitless.

Hope it helps..
