Add a response

Prerequisites
  • Responses > All > All permission

Note: You can create up to 200 libraries, and each library can have up to 200 responses.

To create a response, follow these steps:

  1. Click Admin.
  2. Under Contact Center, click Canned Responses.
  3. Click Add Response.
  4. In the Response Name box, type a meaningful name. Agents see this name.
  5. For a standard response, under Response Type, enable Standard. For more information about template messages, see Add a WhatsApp template message.
  6. In the Content box, type the content of your message.
    Notes: 
    • Remember that this response is part of a larger email or chat conversation. Leave out unnecessary details such as greetings or transition words. 
    • To improve the readability of your canned responses, you can add formatting. For more information, see Format canned responses. 
    • You can add an image to your response.
  7. To create another response, enable the Create Another check box. The new response belongs to the same library by default. However, you can select a different library if necessary.
  8. Click Save.
