Canned Responses

Boost agent productivity and response efficiency with Bevatel's canned responses, which enable quick and easy creation, modification, and usage of reply templates for common queries.

Create common reply messages using canned responses

Canned Responses are saved reply templates that are used to send out a reply to a conversation quickly. You can use canned responses to save replies to frequently asked questions, which will help reduce an agent's response time and productivity. An agent can access canned responses while chatting by typing / followed by the shortcode.

Use a canned response in a conversation​

All canned responses are available for all agents in the account. To access canned responses while you chat with a customer, enter / followed by the shortcode in the text editor shown below, which will highlight the canned response with the shortcode. Then, press Enter the key, and it will update the editor with the reply.

Add a new canned response​

Any agent/admin in the account can create/modify a canned response. To add a new canned response, navigate to the canned response settings by clicking on Settings -> Canned Responses from the sidebar. By default, there are no canned responses available in the account.

Click on the Add Canned Response button available on the top right corner of the page, which will open a modal as shown below.

The fields shown in the modal are described below.

Short Code	Enter a short code - minimum length of 2 characters. Shortcode is unique. You cannot create a canned response with the same shortcode twice in the account.
Content	Type in the message you want to send when the shortcode is entered on the chat.

Once you enter the details, click on the Submit button. A message "Canned Response added successfully" will be displayed if the request is successful.
