Quick replies are added to each response to encourage continued engagement from the user. Not only do the users remain engaged, but they are also prompted to view information on a specific subject you have chosen. Typically, quick replies are the next 2-3 most commonly asked questions for each response or encouraging users to learn more about suggested topics.
To add a new quick reply to a prewritten response, follow the steps below:
Locate the response you wish to update and select the pencil icon in the top right corner.
Locate the “Quick Replies” area within the response window. You can either select “Add Quick Reply…” to add a new one or edit an existing quick reply.
Add a quick reply label. This will be visible to your end user. We recommend writing it in question format for web or app channels or as a short label for a Facebook channel.
Select “Response Name” or "Input Text" as the type.
Add your button's action.
Response Name: Select the prewritten written response name that you’d like to populate when the button is selected.
Input Text: Copy and paste in the quick reply label text, but be sure to exclude the "?".
To add another quick reply, go back to Step 2 and follow the same steps.
