Hi! Welcome to Hoory AI! In this user guide, we'll walk you through the process of creating a canned response in your Hoory AI inbox.

What is a Canned Response?

Before we dive in, let's understand what a canned response is:

A canned response is a pre-saved reply template designed to quickly respond to expected conversations. It's an efficient way to handle frequently asked questions, reducing response time and boosting team productivity.

Creating a Canned Response

  1. Access Canned Response Settings:
  • Navigate to Settings -> Canned Responses from the sidebar.
  1. Add a New Canned Response:
  • Click the "Add Canned Response" button on the top right corner of the page.

  1. Canned Response Modal:
  • A modal will open, prompting you to fill in the details.
  1. Fill in the Fields:
  • Start with the shortcode, a unique, minimum two-character short version of your canned response.
  • Enter the content you want to send when the shortcode is used in a chat.
  1. Submit and Confirm:
  • Click "Submit" to save the canned response.
  • You'll see a success message: "Canned response added successfully."

Using Canned Responses in Chats

  • During a chat, agents can access canned responses by typing "/" followed by the shortcode.
  • The shortcode will be highlighted, and pressing "Enter" will insert the pre-saved reply.

Modifying a Canned Response

  1. Update Canned Response:
  • Open the canned response list from Settings -> Canned Responses.
  • Click the edit button to modify the shortcode or message.
  • Click "Submit" to save changes or "Cancel" to discard them.

Deleting a Canned Response
