How to Create Message Templates
Save time with Quick Replies and message templates for your most common WhatsApp conversations.
Answering the same questions repeatedly is a waste of time. The Chat Quotient lets you create a library of Quick Replies so you can respond with one click.
What are Quick Replies?
Quick Replies are pre-saved message templates that you can instantly insert into any chat. They can include text, links, and even formatting.
Creating Your First Template
- Open the CQ Sidebar.
- Navigate to the Quick Replies tab.
- Click Add New Template.
- Enter a Template Name and your Message Content.
- Choose whether to enable Edit Before Sending.
- Click Save.
Using Templates in Chat
Click the Quick Reply icon next to any template in your sidebar to use it.
- If Edit Before Sending is off, the message is sent right away.
- If Edit Before Sending is on, the message is inserted into your message box so you can review or tweak it before sending.
Quick Reply Features
- Unlimited Quick Replies — save as many templates as your plan allows.
- Quick edit and delete — manage templates right from the chat panel, no need to dig into settings.
- Reordering — rearrange your templates however you like once your library grows.
- Formatting support — bold, italics, and other WhatsApp message formatting carry over exactly as typed.
Pro Tip: Personalization
While templates save time, adding the customer’s name after inserting the text makes the message feel more personal and less automated.
