Hi! Welcome to Hoory AI! In this user guide, we'll show you how to create a canned response in your Hoory AI.

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. Navigate to Settings -> Canned Responses from the left sidebar.
  2. Click the "Add Canned Response" button on the top right corner of the page.

3. A modal will open, prompting you to fill in the details:

  • Start with the shortcode, a unique, minimum two-character version of your canned response.
  • Enter the content, the message you want to send when the short code is used in a chat.

4. Click "Submit" to save the canned response.

Using Canned Responses in Chats

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

Modifying a Canned Response

  • Open the canned response from Settings -> Canned Responses.
  • Click the edit button to modify the short code or message.
  • Click "Submit" to save the changes or "Cancel" to discard them.

Deleting a Canned Response

  • In the canned response list, click the "Delete" button.
  • Confirm the deletion in the modal by clicking "Yes, delete."

That's it. Easy as that!
