Standard Responses
IC agents can use standard responses to help automate e-mail processing. Standard responses use predefined text configured from mail forms that are available to IC agents in the e-mail editor. Standard responses provide consistent handling and messaging to customers regardless of which IC agent processes the e-mail. Multilevel Categorization and Customizing settings help determine which standard responses are available.
Standard responses are also available in chat text. For more information about e-mail and chat, see E-Mail and Chat.

You can use variables in the mail form to insert placeholders for business partners. When IC agents choose the standard response or insert the standard response into an e-mail, the system fills these placeholders with values. For example, you can populate the customer’s name in the salutation.
