Using Email Templates
Support agents handle a flood of tickets that come to their inbox, and crafting individual responses for each ticket is time-consuming and prone to errors. Email templates are a great solution to this common problem. Using email templates, agents can send predefined, customized responses for common issues to the customers.
Working with email templates
Email templates are predesigned responses that simplify the process of responding to tickets. It allows agents to send quick, accurate, and clear responses in a standard format, saving a considerable amount of time spent drafting individual emails. Templates can also be used within the organization as a standard format to send notifications, alerts, and information to the agents or teams.
