What Are Response Templates?


When technicians are processing tickets, it is important they keep the client informed with updated comments through Response Templates.

Response Templates allow for consistent processing of tickets by automatically updating comments and requestor names when multiple technicians are working on similar requests. Additionally, they provide quick, "canned responses" to clients when responding to tickets.

Learn more about Response Templates in our Requesting and Using Response Templates article.
