Conversations: Quick Replies for Facebook and Instagram
Gold Star Pro introduces the Quick Replies feature, designed to enhance customer interactions on Facebook and Instagram. With this update, you can offer predefined response options that customers can tap to send, allowing for faster and more efficient communication. Quick Replies help guide the conversation, giving businesses a straightforward way to lead customers toward specific actions or information.
Setting Up Quick Replies in Gold Star Pro
Setting up Quick Replies in Gold Star Pro’s workflow is simple and straightforward. Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Access Quick Replies in the Workflow
Open the workflow settings in Gold Star Pro.
Navigate to the Facebook Interactive Messenger or Instagram Interactive Messenger action sections.
Step 2: Add and Customize Your Quick Replies
Within the Interactive Messenger settings, choose Quick Replies as a feature to set up predefined responses.
Configure up to 13 quick replies. Each reply can be up to 20 characters long.
Make sure each reply is concise and relevant, as these will display on the customer’s interface for easy selection.
Step 3: Enable Visibility for Customers
Quick Replies appear as selectable options in the customer’s messaging interface, enabling them to tap and send a response instantly. This feature not only speeds up interactions but also ensures the conversation remains focused and directed.
Quick Replies Visibility and Functionality
How It Works:
One-Time Tap: Quick Replies show up only on the most recent message, functioning as single-tap responses.
Selection Lock-In: After choosing a reply, customers cannot change their selection, keeping the interaction concise and goal-oriented.
Message Display: Once selected, the chosen quick reply is highlighted in blue, appearing as a received message in the chat history for both parties. This provides clear visibility of the chosen option and maintains context in the conversation.
Channel-Specific Settings
Facebook: Quick Replies can be combined with buttons and images, offering flexibility in message options.
Instagram: Here, you can add either buttons or Quick Replies, but not both simultaneously. Quick Replies can only be included in messages without attachments.
