1. Introduction

The Saved Replies feature is an extremely useful tool available to chat agents. Saved Replies allow you to save a message you commonly use while chatting with web visitors and then insert that message quickly while chatting. This allows you to chat more efficiently and respond to your web visitors more quickly.

Note: Many tasks regarding Saved Replies -- including editing, changing the priority of and deleting Saved Replies -- need to be done in the My Settings section of your account. You can view our HelpDocs video, called "Managing Saved Replies" to learn more about managing saved replies in this way.
