## &#x20;Macro

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Create a Macro in Intercom**

* In Intercom, go to **Macros**.
* Create a new macro or edit an existing one.
* Add your desired message in the response body.  Wording is important so when agents manually send a screen recording request using Birdie via Intercom, wording plays a big role in conversion. Here’s a message that works great, which you can also save as an Intercom macro:

*<mark style="color:green;">We recommend taking a screen recording to help us see the issue from your perspective, enabling a quicker and more accurate answer:</mark>*

*<mark style="color:green;">Pro tip: For best results, enable audio and talk us through the steps leading to your issue while recording.</mark>*<br>

*<mark style="color:green;">Click here to record your screen:</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`ADD BIRDIE REQUEST BUTTON HERE`</mark>*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Generate the Birdie button**

* When using the macro during a conversation, your team can generate the Birdie request button directly:
  * From the **Birdie sidebar** inside Intercom.
  * Or from the **Birdie editor**, depending on your setup.
