Using pre-defined templates in chats and review responses can help your team:

In chats...

• Save greetings, which enables you to quickly respond to customers in that first contact to chat. That increases your chances to chat to a customer before they leave your website.
• Save links you share often, such as a booking URL.
• Save common replies, especially replies with detailed information like pricing.

In reviews...

• Save time responding
• Set a consistent tone for your staff to respond.
• Provide staff starting points for responding to various types of reviews - positive, passive and negative reviews.
