“One of the features most commonly used by our team is Comm100’s canned messages for live chat. Having the option to enter in personalized messages to quickly choose from increases our response speed and accuracy to a great extent.”

Public canned messages

Public canned messages can be accessed by all agents in their agent consoles. Only the admin agent has the permission to create/edit/delete the messages by default. Other agents can be given permission to edit canned responses too.

Private canned messages

Agents can create their own private canned messages for live chat to add a personal touch to their conversations. Other agents do not have permission to edit or delete these private canned responses.

Canned messaging categories

You can create multiple categories for both public and private canned messages for live chat. Under each category, there can be multiple messages with different titles. This way, you are able to locate specific messages easily by title and category during a chat.

Send canned responses on the fly

Sending canned messages is fast and convenient. Agents can simply double click the message and sent it immediately. Alternatively, the agent can click the chosen canned message and edit it if needed.

Link canned message categories to campaigns

If you’re running multiple websites with different pre-defined canned responses, Comm100 allows you to select canned message categories for certain campaigns. This means when an agent chats with a customer from a given campaign, only canned message categories selected for that campaign will be available for agents to use.
