Canned responses (also called saved replies or snippets) are pre-written messages you can drop into any conversation in your unified inbox. Instead of retyping the same answers about pricing, hours, or scheduling every day, you save them once and reuse them in seconds. For a busy home-service team fielding calls, texts, emails, and web-form leads, that means faster replies and a consistent voice across everyone who answers.

​
When to use canned responses

Canned responses are ideal for the questions you answer over and over: business hours, service areas, deposit policies, “we’re on our way” updates, and follow-ups after a quote. They keep your tone professional even when the office is slammed, and they help new team members sound like seasoned pros from day one.
Canned responses are manual snippets you choose to insert. If you want replies to go out automatically across channels, that is the AI Employee and automations instead.

​
Create a canned response

1

Open your saved replies

From the inbox, look for the saved replies or snippets option in the message composer, or manage them from your messaging settings.
2

Add a new response

Create a new reply, give it a short, memorable name (for example, “Booking confirmation”), and write the message body.
3

Keep it reusable

Avoid hard-coding details that change per customer. Where supported, use placeholders for things like the customer name so each reply still feels personal.
4

Save it

Save the response so it is available to you (and, depending on your settings, your team) the next time you reply.

​
Use a canned response in a conversation

Open any conversation in the inbox, start a reply, and pick the saved response you want from the snippets menu. The text drops into the composer where you can edit it, add a personal line, then send it as an SMS, email, or chat reply. Because everything lives in one conversation view, the customer sees a single, continuous thread regardless of channel.
Review the inserted text before sending. Swap in the customer’s name and any job-specific details so the message reads like it was written just for them.

Good examples for service businesses

“Thanks for reaching out to [Company]! Our office is closed right now, but we’ve got your message and will call you first thing in the morning. For emergencies, reply URGENT and we’ll prioritize you.”
“Hi [Name], just checking in on the estimate we sent over. Happy to answer any questions or get you on the schedule whenever you’re ready.”
“Hi [Name], your technician is on the way and should arrive within the next 30 minutes. Thanks for choosing us!”
“We service the greater [City] area. Most service calls start with a [$] diagnostic fee, which we apply toward any repair. Want me to find you the next available slot?”
“Hi [Name], a friendly reminder that your invoice is ready. You can pay securely from the text-to-pay link we sent. Let us know if you need anything!”

Tips for getting the most out of saved replies

1

Build a small starter set

Begin with five to ten replies that cover your most common questions, then add more as patterns emerge.
2

Match your brand voice

Write in the friendly, local tone your customers expect so reused messages never feel robotic.
3

Keep them current

Update pricing, hours, and policy snippets whenever they change so no one sends outdated info.
