Predefined replies let your staff give quick answers to common questions in support tickets. This allows your staff to spend their time on the tickets that need it most. It also ensures that the information you give is complete, accurate, and consistent every time. Predefined replies and categories are only visible from within the Admin Area.

You can access this feature at Support > Predefined Replies.

Merge Fields #

Predefined replies support the use of merge fields using the same method as in individual ticket replies.

By default, support ticket replies can use the following merge fields:

• [NAME] — The ticket submitter’s full name.
• [FIRSTNAME] — The ticket submitter’s first name.
• [EMAIL] — The ticket submitter’s email address.
