Using messaging templates
Sometimes, you may find yourself sending the same message to clients, such as:
- Welcome messages
- Invoice payment information
- Instructions or directions
- Rescheduled appointment notification
This is where reply templates come in! Using these, you can save frequently used messages and fill them in quickly.

- Find a client or contact in the list and click the envelope icon to start or continue a conversation
- Click the magnifying glass icon to open the templates view
- Click + New Template button to start a new template
