How to Use Saved Replies

Chat Tool

Summary

What is the purpose and benefit of using saved replies in TikTok Shop’s messaging system?

  • Saved replies allow admins to create standardized response templates that agents can quickly use, improving response speed and ensuring consistent communication with buyers. This reduces manual typing and streamlines customer service.

How can admins configure and organize saved replies effectively?

  • Admins create up to 20 reply groups (e.g., Shipping, Refunds) to categorize templates, rename or sort groups for easy access, and delete groups if needed (deleting a group removes all its templates). Each group can hold up to 20 templates.

What are the steps to create and manage individual saved reply templates?

  • Within a group, admins create new templates by entering common responses and optionally adding shortcuts (letters/underscores only). Templates can be edited or deleted anytime, facilitating quick updates to messaging content.

How can agents use saved replies when responding to buyers?

  • Agents can insert saved replies by either searching through groups and keywords or by typing shortcuts preceded by “/”. Multiple templates can be combined in one message and edited before sending, enhancing reply efficiency and accuracy.

Save frequently used replies to respond to messages faster

The admin can configure commonly used reply templates, and agents can directly use the saved reply when replying to buyer messages instead of manually typing each word. You can unify the standard response of different agents and improve response speed by using this feature.
