These actions are available when you click Select Knowledge Sidebar
Component in the macro instructions. Knowledge actions let you search for knowledge
articles and add articles to cases. You can create and run macros to perform these actions on the
Salesforce Knowledge Publisher in the Salesforce Console for
Service.
To use these actions, you must have Salesforce Knowledge enabled in your organization and
added as a console component. Salesforce Knowledge actions, such as attaching an article to a
case, must be enabled in the console. The Knowledge Sidebar must be expanded when you run a
Knowledge macro. If the sidebar is collapsed, the macro doesn’t work.
Internet Explorer 7 and Bulk macros are not supported for Salesforce Knowledge actions.
