If you want to add the name of the associate contacting you, to the response greeting, for example:  Hello Edward, then choose “Associate from the fields. When it’s added to the template body you can remove the word “Associate:” and just leave everything from the $ sign on.

Once this is done, your Response Template is completed! 

NOTE: Channels limit the response template to only the channels you add. If you leave this blank, the response template is available to no channels. This feature allows you to have different messages for chats, emails, or form.

Navigate to any HR incident and you will see a “Responses” button.
Clicking on the button will display the Template widget with a drop down to select your newly created template.

Select your template and the Message field will populate with the template info.  Click the “Copy to Clipboard” button to copy the info to your ticket.
