Can contacts respond to visitors checking in to see them?

If you have Two-Way Chat enabled, visitors and Contacts can chat via the iPad when visitors check in. If Contacts are notified via email, Slack or Teams, they'll need to click a link within their notification if they want to type custom messages to their visitor. Quick Replies, on the other hand, are pre-written replies that the Contact can send straight from the notification message.

Getting Started

To add and customize contacts' email responses to reply to a visitor, navigate to the Quick Replies page on the web portal. Then you can add, delete, or edit the optional replies available to your Contacts.

The New Quick Reply option is selected on the Quick Replies page, and a new Quick Reply is added to the system.

Using Quick Replies

Once these Quick Replies have been added, they will show up as selectable options in Contacts' email, Teams, and Slack visit notifications. Contacts can select the Quick Reply they wish to send, and it will be automatically sent to the iPad for the visitor to view.
