Have you tried adding a note or error to see what the actual value of client type is when the Run Macro is run? Worse case you will see it in the arerror.log

The filter does not fire because it knows the Client Type is indeed 3.

When used in workflow, this keyword resolves to a number that corresponds to Remedy User, Remedy Administrator, DSO, and so on. The number representations of the different client types are in the ar.h file, which is located in <install_directory>\api\include. For example, if you use $CLIENT-TYPE$ in a Run If qualification for an active link, you can cause the active link to execute only for a mid-tier client (for example, $CLIENT-TYPE$ = 9)." I have found that, according to my ar.h file, the Client-Type for runmacro.exe is 17. I have created a filter that runs only when $CLIENT-TYPE$ = 17 to send a message. Unfortunately, it is not running whenever runmacro.exe modifies the ticket. The guide only mentions Active Links. Active Links are not fired whenever runmacro.exe submits the ticket. I need this workflow to only fire whenever runmacro modifies the ticket. Can I still reference CLIENT-TYPE, or will I have to reference a different keyword? According to everything I can see, the way I'm doing it now should be working fine.
