What it does

It audits your Zendesk macro library and finds canned responses that still cite Confluence documentation that has been archived, deprecated, or deleted. Instead of waiting for an agent to send a customer a stale link, you get a single triage report of every macro that needs updating.

When to use it

Run it weekly, or right after a documentation cleanup or product rename. Support teams accumulate hundreds of macros over years; nobody remembers which ones reference the old billing guide or the retired API page. This surfaces the drift before it reaches a customer.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule kicks off the scan.
  2. 2Pull the full list of active Zendesk macros and extract every Confluence URL or page reference from their body text.
  3. 3For each referenced page, query Confluence for its current status (live, archived, deprecated label, or 404).
  4. 4Branch: keep only macros pointing at archived, deprecated, or missing pages.
  5. 5Use OpenAI to draft a plain-English fix note per macro — which link broke and the likely current replacement page.
  6. 6Open one consolidated Zendesk triage ticket listing the offending macros, references, and suggested fixes.
