Is there a keyboard hotkey for using a customer's first name in an Inbox reply?

I'm terrible at spelling and keep getting our customer's names wrong, which is definitely not the vibe we want to give off ;)

Hey @matt p11​! While there isn't an "official" hotkey, our Support team use a pretty nifty workaround for this.

 

Step 1: Create a Saved Reply that only contains the first_name variable.

Step 2: Name the Saved Reply something you'll remember - our team use "fn".

Step 3: In your next Inbox reply, use the shortcut #(name of your new Saved Reply).

Step 4: There you go! The customer's first name is added.
