Greetings! I was in a Horrific Visions, and had the orb action button bar up, but my macro /click ExtraActionButton1 does not work.
What are they calling this button so that I may add it to the macro?

I don’t know, but perhaps you could find out what it is called by using /framestack command. (Type /framestack a second time to toggle back to normal)
This gives you information about the UI elements under your mouse cursor.
I believe the button is called “Zone Ability”. Its completely separate from ExtraActionButton. After some quick research, I couldnt find a macro or bind for it.

From WoWHead:
For those with UI that block these buttons - IE: Spartan UI
#showtooltip sanity restoration orb
/cast Sanity Restoration Orb
Placed it on your bars and rejoice!

Thank you very much! I can easily add that line to my macro and set and forget!
Now if only there was a macro to quiet the screaming caused by all the insanity! 
It took a bit of doing, but I think I have a better macro that will work for anything. I only tested it in Draenor, but it worked. The idea behind this is that it checks to make sure you’re not in combat, then it creates a hidden button named myZA (the first time you click it), then assigns the ZoneAbilityFrame.SpellButton to it. It then performs the /click on the hidden myZA button to click the zone ability button.
Ideally, you would make a simple addon to automatically create the myZA button on login, then your macro would just be /click myZA, but that’s outside the scope of this post for now. Maybe I’ll do that later.
All you have to make sure you do is click this button once before you enter the vision to make sure it’s activated. After that, each click will trigger the orb or whatever other zone ability is active for the current zone.
Just paste this into a macro:
/run if not InCombatLockdown() then local b = myZA or CreateFrame(“button”,“myZA”,nil,“SecureActionButtonTemplate”);b:SetAttribute(“type”,“click”);b:SetAttribute(“clickbutton”,ZoneAbilityFrame.SpellButton);end
/click myZA
That is more elegant, but would I be able to insert it into my macro?
Currently I have reserved a key for my macro. The purpose is to have one location to always push for: Extra Action Button & and /tar string I need for the current raid.
If I added those lines at the beginning, would it still allow the following lines to run?
/click ExtraActionButton1
/tar
If not, I’ll just add the instance specific version - although I do understand that if Blizzard uses this Zone button moving forward, I’ll have to create another /cast for whatever they come up with.

Well, the Zone Ability Button is separate from the ExtraActionButton1. I don’t think you’re going to be able to have one macro for both of them.
Your /click ExtraActionButton1 macro shouldn’t change for this. You need to make a different macro for handling the sanity orbs and other Zone Action Buttons like the WoD zone abilities.
I actually made a simple addon for this, and it lets you set a keybind for the Zone Ability Button if you want to, or you can just add a simple “/click myZA” to any macro.
It’s still under review by the Curse staff, but the link will eventually be:

Ah. Yes, I think adding /click myZA to my macro should work. The worst that would happen is that I would be in WoD and trigger my Extra Action Button, and my Zone ability at the same time (at least to the human perception) - and I don’t, at this time, see the tragedy in that. 
I’ll keep a lookout for your addon, and thank you for all your assistance!
You’re my new BFF. Don’t know if you need one, but you have one. Dominos seems to hide that button, so that quick little macro works for me!

The addon (ZoneAbilityBinding) is now live at curseforge. When you install it, you can directly bind the zone ability button to a key (under the Other section of keybinds) or just use /click myZA in any macro.

Thanks for this. I didn’t want to chance my first one, so I created the macro. The matching icon is about 3-6 scrolls down from the first page.

Just a note for everyone that wants this addon - use the link given by the author. As of 1/17 I could not bring it up via search. I’m sure this will resolve as time goes by, but for those that want it now - use the link!
They had it set to “experimental” for some reason. Now it’s cleared as normal release, but I guess it could take a day for it to show up.
It looks like I had it set as Alpha instead of Release version. I just set it to Release version, so it should show up soon.

Good to hear! I used it yesterday to drop my orbs (adding it to my swiss-army-knife macro) - worked like a charm!
Thank you so much!
TY so much for this info. I haven’t tried it yet but it seems pretty straight forward. I was feeling really desperate. ty, ty, ty
I’m having a similar problem with N’zoth the Corruptor. Every time I join the Raid Azeroth’s Radiance appears in my ExtraActionBar but the second the encounter begins it disappears and I have not been able to figure out how to get it back.
I’m using Bartender and it shows the ExtraEncounterBar in the right place, not covered by buttons and its enabled. I tried the ZA addon and bound it to a macro that I have on an action bar but no matter how many times I clicked before/during the encounter I couldn’t get the Azeroth’s Radiance to come back.
Can I create a macro that just calls this directly? /cast inv_heartofazeroth (I don’t know how to check the item name beyond looking it up on Wowhead).
Also, if there is anyone who can offer some suggestions. Is there an easy way to test this somewhere? For the record, the zone ability comes up in Horrific Vision runs and any other place I’ve noticed it (I presume world quests use the same action bar).
/click ExtraActionButton1
Thanks, it appears I must be having a different problem. I disabled all addons, renamed WTF, Interface and Cache directories, ran a Scan and Repair and rebooted my computer but the Azeroth’s Radiance necklace keeps disappearing whenever I start the Nzoth the Corruputor encounter. I submitted a ticket to Blizzard to see if they can help.
