Hi Maya, thanks for waiting. Your order is with the carrier and we have asked them to trace it.shippingTeam: Orders

Write the reply once and reuse it. A macro fills in the customer's name and their latest order, then tags, assigns or closes the ticket as it goes.

  • Customer and agent names
  • Shopify order details
  • Tags and teams
  • Snooze and status

Why it matters

Less typing, the same care

  • Typing the same answer all day

    One click fills it in

    The customer's name, order number and tracking link go in for this ticket.

  • Tags and status forgotten after replying

    The bookkeeping happens too

    A macro can tag, assign, set the status and snooze as it sends.

  • Every agent wording it differently

    One answer the whole team uses

    Leads keep the library; agents use it and edit where a customer needs more.

A saved reply that knows who it is for

Write the reply with fill-ins for the customer's name, your name and details from their store: the latest order number, its status, its tracking link.

Each time someone uses the macro, the helpdesk puts in the values for that ticket before it sends, and the composer shows the result first.

Hi {{ticket.customer.firstname}},

Your order {{ticket.customer.integrations.shopify.orders[0].name}}
is on its way. You can follow it here:
{{ticket.customer.integrations.shopify.orders[0].fulfillments[0].tracking_url}}

{{current_user.firstname}}

→ Hi Maya,
  Your order #1042 is on its way. You can follow it here:

Find the right answer as you type

Search your macros by name from the composer, look at the filled-in preview, and insert it. Edit the text before you send if this customer needs something different.

Hi Maya, thanks for waiting. Your order is with the carrier…

The reply and the bookkeeping in one click

A macro can add or remove tags, set the status or priority, assign a person or team, snooze the ticket, fill in a ticket field, add an internal note or change the subject.

So “Shipping delay” answers the customer, tags the ticket, hands it to Orders and snoozes it until Thursday in one step.

Hi, order #1042 said 3 to 5 days and it has been a week. Tracking hasn't moved since Monday. Can you check where it is?

Carrier shows it at the regional hub since Monday. I asked them to trace it.

Stop typing the same answer

  • Start with the questions you get most

    Where is my order, how do returns work, can I change my address: write those first and the rest of the library follows.

  • Tag as you answer

    A tag on every macro means views and reports know what each ticket was about without anyone filling anything in.

  • Rules can use them too

    A rule can send a macro by itself, so an order-status question gets its first answer before an agent opens it.

  • One voice for new agents

    New people send the same tested answers from day one and edit them where a customer needs more.

  • Brought over in the import

    Moving from Gorgias, your macros come across with your tickets, tags, views and rules.

  • Managed by leads

    Lead agents and admins create and edit macros; agents use them.
