HelpCrunch has a built-in saved responses feature, but those replies stay inside HelpCrunch. Here is the native method, and the faster, more flexible way with Typedesk.
Without Typedesk
For reference, here is the native method. HelpCrunch saved responses support a # shortcut, tags, and basic personalization tokens, but they stay inside HelpCrunch.
With Typedesk
Typedesk's browser extension works directly inside HelpCrunch and other browser-based tools. The Windows and Mac apps extend the same template library to the rest of your desktop workflow.
Create a saved response for a reply you send often.
Assign it a tag so you can find it quickly later.
In a chat, type # to search your saved responses and insert one.
Because saved responses stay inside HelpCrunch, you cannot reuse them in Gmail, Outlook, or other apps outside HelpCrunch.
Save your standard answers in Typedesk, each with a short shortcut like /refund.
Open a HelpCrunch chat and type the shortcut in the reply box.
The full response expands instantly, ready to send or edit.
Set up Typedesk once and reuse your HelpCrunch replies everywhere you work.
Typedesk text expander takes HelpCrunch saved responses further, with fill-in fields and use beyond HelpCrunch.
Fill in details as you type
HelpCrunch tokens auto-fill saved attributes like a first name. Typedesk goes further with fields you complete as the template expands, for order numbers, dates, or anything not stored in HelpCrunch.
Works beyond HelpCrunch, in every app
Typedesk replies work in the HelpCrunch inbox and in email, Slack, and every other app your team uses, all from one library.
Share one reply library with your team
Keep every approved answer in a single shared library so your whole team replies consistently, with central updates pushed to everyone.
Insert any reply with a shortcut
Type a short shortcut like /refund and the full response expands right in the HelpCrunch reply box, and the same shortcut works everywhere else too.
