Quick responses are intended for ITSM agents for processing tickets. Customized quick responses allow agents to communicate with callers through the most frequently recurring issues with the least amount of effort.

Before creating a quick response

Before creating quick responses for certain tables, put a widget with quick responses on the table record form view. To do this, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the record form you need.
  2. Navigate to Configure → Form → Layout.
  3. Move the Activity Feed with Quick Responses widget from the Available to the Selected box.
  4. Click Save.


If there is an Activity Feed widget on the form view, replace it with a widget with add-ons to use quick responses.
