Picture this: You're a social media moderator for a buzzing brand, and you're juggling a flurry of similar queries every day. πŸ€Ήβ€β™‚οΈ

"What are your store hours?", "Where are you located?", "How can I track my order?".

It's like your fingers have learned the responses by heart! But β€” what if you could answer these common queries with just a few clicks?

With Saved Replies, you can create pre-written responses to common queries and use them whenever you need. This means you can spend less time typing and more time engaging with your customers. Let's dive in!

Create Saved Replies

  1. To add a saved reply, head over to Saved replies in Workspace Settings

  2. You'll spot an 'Add reply' button - hit it

  3. Give your reply a catchy name (1). That'll help you quickly spot it when you need it!

    Next, select the social media pages where you want this reply to be available (2).

    Just remember, character limits can be a bit of a party pooper on some platforms. πŸ₯Ί

    If your message is too long, it'll get flagged in your Inbox when you try to use it.

    ✍️ Now for the fun part - crafting your reply! (3)

    Want to make your fans feel special? Use [author] to include their name in your reply (4).

    And for that extra sparkle, throw in some emojis! Just click on the smiley face in the bottom left corner.
