Use SMS Snippets

The SMS Snippets feature allows you to streamline messaging by creating prewritten responses for future SMS conversations. Instead of typing repetitive messages manually, you can select from existing snippets directly within the SMS Conversations page and the Check-in Manager app (described in the Checking-Out Check-in guide).

Go to Admin Tools > Settings > SMS Snippets to start adding snippets for your organization.

SMS Snippets

In the Snippet Detail view, you’ll see everything that makes up a snippet—its content, settings and options for managing it.

Snippet Detail

Admins can configure snippets with either Personal or Shared access, categorize them, and customize their content using Lava (remember to toggle the Text |Lava switch).

  • Shared snippets are available to your entire organization.
  • Personal snippets are private and help you create quick, reusable prompts for yourself (e.g., "Ted, don't forget to turn off the lights before you leave the building tonight!").

Note

Snippet Categories
Using a lot of snippets? Keep them organized by creating categories in Admin Tools > Settings > Category Manager. Some blocks, including the one in the Check-in Manager's SMS feature, include a category selection setting. Configuring this ensures the right snippets are available in the right context.
