Send A Canned Message

A canned message is a request or question you send with a set of pre-defined answers.  When the recipient reads the message they choose one of the answers.    You can use canned messaging to have team members:

  • vote on any question
  • provide ETA’s when out in the field.
  • accept or decline meeting requests

In fact pretty much anything you can think of.   If you have a standard process where your team members respond by choosing from a list of answers, simply create a custom canned message for your team and away you go.

To send a canned message open the Multimedia Menu and choose Canned.
