To Use a Saved Reply:

  • While typing in the inbox chat box, simply type forward slash / or click Insert Saved Reply
  • A list of your saved replies will appear. Select the appropriate one and it will be inserted instantly into the chat.

💡 Real-World Use Cases

Saved Replies can be used across a range of common business scenarios:

  • Customer Service: “Hi! Here’s our return policy…”
  • Sales Support: “Thanks for your interest! Here’s our product catalog.”
  • Appointment Confirmations: “Your booking is confirmed for {date} at {time}.”
  • Order Updates: “Your order has been shipped and is on its way!”
  • Feedback Requests: “We’d love to hear your thoughts—please leave a review.”

🎯 Best Practices for Using Saved Replies

  1. Personalize When Possible
    Use placeholders like {name} or {order_number} to make messages feel tailored to each user.
  2. Name Replies Clearly
    Use intuitive shortcuts (like /faq, /hello, or /orderupdate) to quickly find what you need.
  3. Keep Replies Updated
    Review saved replies regularly to ensure they’re still relevant, accurate, and aligned with your latest business processes.
  4. Use Sparingly in Conversations
    Don’t rely solely on Saved Replies. Combine them with personalized messages to maintain a human, authentic tone.

⚠️ Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Outdated Content: Always double-check saved replies for current links, prices, or policy details.
  • Overuse: Using too many canned messages can make interactions feel impersonal or robotic.
  • Lack of Organization: Without clear naming or categorization, Saved Replies can become hard to manage as your list grows.
