Canned Templates

A comprehensive guide for managers on how to create and manage the customized Inbox responses for most common customers' queries.

In the Canned templates view, Inbox admins or managers (provided they hold the corresponding Inbox role permissions) can create and manage predefined templates. Using predefined canned templates in the common query responses can save agents' operational time.

To access the Canned Templates tab options:

  1. In your browser, log in to TextPeak with manager access privileges.
  2. In the main TextPeak menu, select the Inbox tab.
  3. Next, click Settings at the bottom left and navigate to the Canned templates tab.

❗️

IMPORTANT

Inbox agents have no access to the Settings > Canned Templates page and can manage conversations only.

Here, you can view a table with canned templates added to your account.

The table organizes all information about existing templates in the following columns: Template Name, Message, Created At, and Actions.
