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..
