Information on this page is relevant to quick replies for ACD channels only. For information about quick replies for digital channels, see Manage Quick Responses.
Quick replies are pre-written responses that agents can use to respond quickly to frequently asked questions in email or chat messages. You can style them using basic text modification tools in the platform or with HTML tagging. They require an agent to enter text in a text field before sending the quick reply. For instance, the agent might have to write the contact's name before sending the quick reply so the actual name can be injected in place of the variable.
When agents access quick replies, those that you have marked as favorites appear at the top of the list. Quick replies are searchable by title, keywords, and content. It's important to create meaningful titles and associate relevant keywords to each reply so agents can quickly and easily access the quick replies they need.
Each quick reply has an audit history tab that displays a table of information about the creation and last modification of the quick reply. You can see what was modified, when it was modified, and who did the modification. Audit history tables can become very large, so you can use search and filter tools to limit the display.

Technical Scripting Information
These technical details can help you set up Studio scripts that use quick replies. If you need assistance, contact your CXone Account Representative.
- Script variable values can automatically be merged or pre-populated into the quick reply variables in MAX. The variable names must match and the script Assign action must be set to ScreenPop = true. When variable values are merged, MAX agents retain the ability to manually modify the pre-populated fields.
- The total amount of variable data configured to ScreenPop should not exceed 200 KB. Larger amounts of data may slow MAX performance.
