FAQ

Questions about Quick Replies

Got questions about Quick Replies? We've got answers.

Quick replies are internal shortcuts agents use inside the 24-hour customer service window. Message templates are pre-approved by Meta and are needed to start a conversation or message a customer after 24 hours. Chatbox AI supports both.

What is the difference between quick replies and message templates? Quick replies are internal shortcuts agents use inside the 24-hour customer service window. Message templates are pre-approved by Meta and are needed to start a conversation or message a customer after 24 hours. Chatbox AI supports both.

Do quick replies need Meta approval? No. Quick replies are sent as normal free-form messages during an open conversation, so they don't need approval. Only template messages used to start conversations require Meta approval.

Can I personalise quick replies with customer details? Yes. Add variables such as {{Name}}, {{Order_ID}} or {{Amount}}. Chatbox AI fills them from the contact's attributes or connected order data when the agent inserts the reply.

Can every agent use the same quick replies? Yes. The library is shared across your workspace, so every agent in the Team Inbox, on web, Android or iOS, uses the same approved answers. Admins can control who can create or edit replies.

Can I include images or files in a quick reply? Yes. Attach an image, PDF or video to a saved reply, for example a size chart, price list or product brochure, so agents can send it with one shortcut.
