SupportCandy – Canned Reply

SupportCandy – Canned Reply is a premium add-on extension for the SupportCandy WordPress helpdesk and support ticket plugin that helps your support team respond faster and more consistently by letting agents save pre-written responses (“canned replies”) and reuse them with just a click when replying to tickets.

🧠 What SupportCandy – Canned Reply Does

SupportCandy – Canned Reply enhances the core SupportCandy ticketing system by giving support agents and admins the ability to:
✔ Create and save canned responses for frequently asked questions or common replies, so agents don’t have to type the same response over and over.
✔ Use macros (placeholders) in canned replies — e.g., customer name, ticket subject or other dynamic fields — to make replies feel personal even when reused.
✔ Access saved canned replies easily via a “Canned Reply” link while composing a ticket reply, then search and insert the one you need.
✔ Organize replies with categories to find the right template faster.
✔ Control visibility — private canned replies for individual agents and public canned replies that all agents can use.

🛠 How It Works

Once installed alongside the SupportCandy helpdesk plugin:

1. Agents or administrators create canned reply templates in the Support » Canned Reply area.

2. Each canned reply can include macros for personalization and be assigned to a category for easier lookup.

3. When an agent is replying to a ticket, they click the “Canned Reply” button, search the saved responses, and insert the appropriate one instantly.

📌 Why It’s Useful

⏱️ Saves Time

Instead of rewriting the same text repeatedly, agents can insert a canned response in seconds.

📈 Improves Consistency

Ensures customer replies are accurate, consistent, and align with your support guidelines.

👥 Better Team Collaboration

Admins can create and share public replies that the whole support team can use, while individuals can keep their own private responses for personal workflow.

📌 Typical Use Cases

• Support teams dealing with repeatedly asked questions (e.g., return policy, troubleshooting steps).

• High-volume ticket environments where response time matters.

• Teams that want quality and consistency in messaging across agents.
