Quick Replies

Quick replies are a set of predefined messages which you can save in order to avoid typing the most frequently used replies.Users can quickly select from a list of already created responses, this feature will making communication faster and more convenient particularly in situations where typing a reply may be difficult eg. meeting or engaged with other client chats. It will help to avoid or minimize errors, typos or misunderstandings due to unclear messages.

For example, consider this use case: Imagine you're texting with a friend, and instead of typing out every response, you have some ready-made buttons to click. These buttons are like shortcuts for quick answers. For example, if your friend asks, "Where do you want to eat?" you might have buttons that say "Pizza," "Burgers," or "Tacos." Instead of typing, you just click the one you want. That's the basic idea behind quick replies!
