Create Quick Reply Page

Required security profile permissions: Quick Replies Create

You can set up quick replies to enable agents to insert text into a chat or email without spending time typing the same information. For example, you could include your hours of operation as a quick reply so agents can quickly provide contacts with the correct information without looking it up and typing it. This topic describes all the options available when you create a new quick reply.

Title
The unique name of the quick reply. Words from the Title match searches performed on quick replies in the agent application.
Favorite

When selected, marks the quick reply as a favorite. It appears in a separate Favorites tab in the quick replies tool of the agent application.

Marking a quick reply as a favorite causes it to appear in the Favorites tab for all agents. This allows your organization to make the most commonly-used quick replies more easily accessible to the agents.

Keywords
Keywords associated with the quick reply. These words, in addition to the Title and Content, match searches performed on quick replies in the agent application. It is a way to improve the searchability of quick replies without bloating the Titles with unnecessary words or affecting the Content.
Content

The text that is automatically added to the email or chat when an agent selects the quick reply.

The Content toolbar contains standard word processing tools plus the following: 

  • Opens a new window where you can use HTML tagging to style the text. Thin Agent and Power Agent are restricted to the following HTML tags:

    • Anchor — <a>
    • Bold — <b>
    • Break — <br>
    • Font — <font>
    • Italic — <i>
    • List item — <li>
    • Paragraph — <p>
    • Underline — <u>
    • Image — <img>
    • Span — <span>
    • Text format tags
  • — Marks the selected text as a variable that the agent must change to match the current situation. For example, if you created a {CustomerName} variable, agents using the quick reply would be prompted to type the contact's name in a text box before sending the quick reply.

    Agents see the exact text contained in the variable when prompted to provide information so it is important to give the variable a descriptive name.
