Add and use quick replies and buttons in Sparkcentral

You can create and use quick replies and buttons to improve communication efficiency with contacts. Quick replies and buttons work with Facebook Messenger, Twitter direct messages, and messaging channels.

You can add snippets to the Saved replies tab (where they can be dragged into the reply field) or to an auto responder message. You can also create quick replies and buttons by using the Virtual Agent API.

Saved replies button example

1. Create a new snippet. (See Sparkcentral saved replies). For example:
   
   Need more information? %[Visit our website](http://www.sparkcentral.com)
   
   
2. Click or drag the snippet into the reply box.

Here's how the button looks in a Twitter direct message.

Auto responder quick reply example

Create a new auto responder (or edit an existing one). For example:

• Statement: Hi, thank you for contacting our customer service team!
• Question: What can we help you with today? %[Change booking](reply:change-booking) %[Request invoice](reply:request-invoice)

Here's how the quick reply looks in Facebook Messenger.
