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.
- Define your Shortcut (e.g.,
/pricing) and your Message Content. - Click Save.
Using Templates in Chat
There are two ways to use your templates:
- The Slash Shortcut: Type
/in your message box, followed by the template name (e.g.,/welcome). A dropdown will appear—hit Enter to insert the text. - Sidebar Selection: Click the Quick Reply icon next to any template in your sidebar to insert it immediately.
Organizing Templates with Folders
If you have dozens of templates, organize them into folders.
- Create folders like “Sales,” “Support,” or “Personal.”
- This makes it easier to find the right message when you need it most.
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.
