Sitting on top of CRMs and messaging platforms, Sapling helps support, sales and success teams compose personalized messages more efficiently.
Sapling.ai is your language model assistant that will help you respond and tackle inquiries faster. It is the go-to product for customer-facing teams. Sapling has a range of services which include: grammar correction, autocomplete, snippets/macros, and chat suggest/agent assist. In this post, we'll focus on using snippets to respond to inquiries.
If you work on any customer-facing team, then Sapling’s Snippets can help you save time. Think about all the common phrases you send in your emails that you have to type out each time such as “Feel free to reach back out if you have any further questions!” Why not instead type a short macro and have that entire sentence automatically expanded for you?
That’s exactly what snippets does. Snippets allow you to upload your most commonly used phrases or sentences into a response bank. To use the snippet you want, simply press the backslash \
key or type the shortcut and voilà!
