Feature idea: Macros with input options

You can use dynamic content in macros, but it'd be very useful to have a macro that prompts the agent for input.

Example use case:

We have a macro that allows us to provide a prorated refund of $xxx depending when a user canceled their account in a month.

Our macro looks something like this:

...We can provide a refund of $XXX_AMOUNT_xXX since you used the service for XXX_DAYS_USED_XXX

The agent in this case has to be mindful to find any variables in the macro to modify. We have several macros with variables like this to be modified before being sent.

The feature request idea would be to have a macro like this:

...We can provide a refund of ${{ticket.input_prompt.prompt_name}} since you used the service for {{ticket.input_prompt.prompt_name_02}}

When used, the agent would be prompted to enter values for those two fields (enter a value for "prompt_name").

I see this being extremely useful for teams relying heavily on macro responses.
