Using Your Standard Responses


Save time by quickly following-up with inquiries using pre-set messages (with attachments) that you can setup within the platform. 

How to Set it Up:

1. On the left orange sidebar, choose either "Private Party/Group Inquiries" or "Catering Inquiries." Then, select the "Settings" header at the top of the page. 

Both Private Parties and Catering inquiries have different EventPlanner settings. This means that you may have a different:

  • Auto Response
  • Set of Standard Responses
  • Default Proposals and Payments between the two inquiry types

2. Scroll down the page until you reach the "Standard Responses" section of the page seen below.

3. There are 6 different response types to choose from when communicating with customers:

  • All Set
  • Ask for Confirmation
  • Send Info
  • Ask for Info
  • Decline
  • Offer Alternative

Each of these response types has a default message that you will be able to choose in order to respond to customer emails right away. 

4. Control how the inquiry status updates when using a certain Standard Response.

5. Bear mind, that you can save even more time with Standard Responses by using "Placeholder Variables."

  • Variables autofill with real customer information from each individual inquiry message
  • Use these to save time looking back and forth to confirm inquiry details 
  • Always sound professional by ensuring you have your facts straight 

6. Attach a file with a standard response to provide customers with additional info regarding their inquiry. Remember, this is all about saving you time in the future. Include, what is needed in the most common situations. 

Conclusion
