What are Canned Responses?

Canned Responses are pre-designed message templates that you and your team can easily access. No need to repeatedly type out the same message from scratch.

If you have commonly used messages, save them as canned responses for quick use whenever necessary. These responses allow you to:

• Attach files, such as images or documents.

• Incorporate emojis for a touch of expression.

• Personalize the message by using variables.

• Add buttons for seamless and rapid customer interaction.

• Add a WhatsApp Form to enhance the customer interaction.

Reply Config in Canned Response

Consider a scenario where a contact interacts with a canned Response, and based on this interaction, the conversation needs to be reassigned to a different team or assignee. The Reply Settings feature allows for such assignment configurations. This provides a level of customization for managing responses and interactions.

You can assign the Conversation when your customers reply to Bots, Teams, or Gallabox Users.

Override the current assignments

When you check the box for this, all the conversation (when replied by your customers) will be assigned to the "test" team, and this assignment will replace any current assignments that may exist. Adjust this settings based on your team structure and workflow preferences.
