Agents and experts can save and manage custom canned answers. During a conversation, they can then use these canned answers just like they can use common canned answers created by an administrator or a manager on the iAdvize platform.

2. Quick add

During a conversation, you can save the answer you've just sent to a visitor. Hover your cursor over the answer to display a "+" icon on its left and click on it. On the window that appears, select one of your custom categories, modify the text of the answer if necessary, and save your edits by validating them.

⚠You can add up to 100 personalized canned responses at the moment.

3. Use your custom canned answers

3.1 Selection per category

When you are on the chat window, now you can see your custom canned answers as well as the common canned answers.
Click on the button next to the text input field - on the right for professional agents or the black "+" icon on the left for independent experts - and navigate through the categories using your mouse or keyboard arrows to select the appropriate answer.

3.2 Auto-completion

The auto-completion only works if you have activated this feature on your website. If it has been activated, when you start writing answers, it suggests you the closest common and custom canned answers available above the text input field. Browse through the different canned answers with the keyboard arrows or click on the one that best suits your needs to integrate it with your answer.
