How do I add/edit custom quick replies?

Easily! Any Manager level user can add & edit up to 3 custom quick replies. Navigate to the Queue’s settings and click on Custom Quick Replies on the bottom of the settings pane.

Title your quick reply and add in the message below. The title can be up to 30 characters and the message itself can be no more than 160 characters.

  • If there are already existing quick replies, you can edit them directly in their respective fields.

  • Review your changes to ensure accuracy and clarity.

  • Save the updated quick replies before exiting the editing mode.

  • Once saved, test the quick replies to ensure they function as intended.

  • If everything looks good, the updated quick replies are ready for use in your SMS messaging platform.

  • Remember to tailor the quick replies to match the needs and preferences of your audience, providing them with helpful and efficient responses to their inquiries.

You can also add {{TEMPLATE_VARIABLES}} to quick reply messages. That way, you can personalize each message with a patient's first/last name or even the review link.
