/ — quick replies
Saved answers for things you type constantly: opening hours, delivery times, payment
details.
1
Type / in the composer
A list appears. Keep typing to filter it.
2
Pick one
Its text drops into the composer. You can edit before sending — it is a starting point,
not a locked script.
Quick replies are shared across the workspace, so a good one written by one agent helps
everybody. Title them for how people will search — “delivery time”, not “reply 3”.
: — commands
Runs an automation against the current conversation, rather than inserting text.
Where a quick reply pastes words, a command does something: creates an order, looks a
customer up in another system, sends a structured message, kicks off a follow-up sequence.
Some take arguments, and the composer prompts you for them.
Which commands exist depends on what your workspace has built under Automation — there
is no fixed list.
