# Smart Replies

Lower your agents' workload and resolve issues faster using keyword-based smart replies.

Smart replies are prepared answers that Wrangle can use to automatically respond to common requests. 

Toggle on "Enable Smart Replies" and click "Add Reply" to create your first smart reply.

You can add multiple keywords or phrases separated by a line break, as well as a reply that will be sent every time one of those phrases is used in your inbox channel.

#### Smart replies and ticket creation method

In the Automations section of your inbox settings there are three options for ticket creation. Here's how smart replies work with each option:

1. **Turn new channel messages into tickets automatically** - Wrangle will attempt to answer all incoming messages in the channel with a smart reply. If no match is found, Wrangle will automatically create a ticket.
2. **Create tickets manually** - If you use our [message shortcut](/tickets/creating-tickets.md#creating-a-ticket-from-a-message-shortcut) or [emoji reaction](/tickets/creating-tickets.md#creating-a-ticket-via-emoji-reaction) on a message, Wrangle will attempt to answer with a Smart reply. If no match is found, Wrangle will create a ticket.
3. **Bypass ticket creation using Smart Replies** - Wrangle will attempt to answer all incoming messages in the channel with a smart reply. If no match is found, Wrangle will *not* create a ticket.

### Smart replies in Slack

Whenever a smart reply is triggered for a message containing one of your keywords or phrases, Wrangle will send your prewritten reply, as well as a link to start a ticket if help is still needed.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you also have [AI ticket deflection](/tickets/ai-powered-ticketing/ai-ticket-deflection.md) enabled, Wrangle will first look for your smart reply keywords. If none are found, *then* it will look for an answer in your help documents and attempt to formulate an AI response.
