Quick Responses

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.

  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.
