Predefined Replies
Predefined replies let your staff give quick answers to common questions in support tickets. This allows your staff to spend their time on the tickets that need it most. It also ensures that the information you give is complete, accurate, and consistent every time. Predefined replies and categories are only visible from within the Admin Area.
You can access this feature at Support > Predefined Replies.
