Use private notes and canned replies

Share context with teammates without messaging the customer, and review reusable replies before sending.

Published · Updated

Private notes pass context between teammates, while canned replies keep common answers consistent. Check the composer mode before submitting either one.

Before you start

Open a conversation you can reply to. Creating canned replies may require settings access; using them depends on your workspace configuration.

Steps

  1. 1

    Write a private note

    Switch the conversation composer to private note mode and summarize the request or next action clearly.

  2. 2

    Confirm the mode

    Before saving, check that the composer is still in note mode and that the text only contains information the team needs.

  3. 3

    Choose a canned reply

    For a common question, open canned replies and select the relevant draft.

  4. 4

    Review before sending

    Personalize details and check the channel and recipient before sending the reply to the customer.

  5. 5

    Keep replies current

    If a common answer becomes inaccurate, update the canned reply instead of repeatedly correcting it in individual conversations.

Check the result

The note is visible only to the team, and the reviewed reply reaches the correct customer.
