Live Chat Shortcuts

Shortcuts are saved replies you can create and manage in onWebChat. They help your team respond faster while keeping every conversation clear, consistent, and professional.

How to Use Shortcuts

For example, instead of retyping the same greeting in every new conversation, you can insert the right shortcut instantly and send it with confidence.

Use Shortcuts During a Chat

Example: you saved a shortcut that says, "Good morning, how can I assist you today?"

While chatting, type a few characters (for example, "good" or "assist"). onWebChat will suggest matching shortcuts so you can select and insert the full response.
