Macros in Web2Chat are pre-written responses with customizable actions that streamline customer support. They help teams respond quickly and consistently to inquiries while performing actions like assigning conversations, snoozing, or closing them.

Example Macros

Below are some examples of macros you can use and best practices for setting them up to maximize efficiency.

1. Order Status Inquiry

Use Case: Customers frequently inquire about the status of their orders, seeking updates on processing and shipping times. Providing timely and accurate information enhances customer satisfaction and reduces follow-up queries.
  • Title: Order Status Update
  • Message: "Thank you for reaching out! Your order is currently being processed and will be shipped within 2-3 business days. If you need further assistance, please let us know."
  • Actions:
    • Assign the conversation to the Support Team.
    • Snooze the conversation for 48 hours for follow-up.
  • Enhancements:
    • Include a relevant emoji for a friendly tone (e.g., 📦).

2. Customer Feedback Request

Use Case: Gathering feedback after an interaction helps improve products and services. Encouraging customers to share their experiences shows that you value their opinions and are committed to continuous improvement.
  • Title: Feedback Request
  • Message: "We’d love to hear about your experience! Please let us know how we did by clicking on the following link: [Feedback Form]. Your feedback helps us improve."
  • Actions:
    • Assign the conversation to the Customer Experience Team (optional).
    • Close the conversation after the response is sent.
  • Enhancements:
    • Add a GIF or image to make the message more engaging.

3. Bugs Report

Use Case: When customers encounter technical problems or bugs that frontline support can't resolve, escalating the issue promptly ensures a quicker resolution. Keeping the customer informed during this process maintains trust and reduces frustration.

  • Actions:
    • Assign the conversation to the Technical Team.
    • Snooze the conversation for 24 hours to monitor updates.
  • Enhancements:
    • Attach a troubleshooting guide for additional assistance.

  • Title: Welcome to [Your Business]
  • Message: "Welcome to [Your Business]! We’re here to assist you with any questions you may have!"
  • Actions:
    • Assign the conversation to a Sales Representative for onboarding assistance.
  • Enhancements:
    • Include a cheerful emoji or GIF to create a friendly atmosphere.

Best Practices for Using Macros

  1. Start with the Use Case: Identify common customer inquiries or issues and create macros specifically tailored to address them.
  2. Keep Messages Clear and Friendly: Use simple language and a conversational tone to make customers feel comfortable and understood.
  3. Use Descriptive Titles: Assign meaningful titles to macros for easy identification, enabling team members to select the appropriate response quickly.
  4. Leverage Actions for Efficiency: Utilize actions like assigning conversations, snoozing, or closing to streamline workflow and ensure follow-ups are timely.
  5. Combine Macros for Complex Scenarios: Apply multiple macros when handling multifaceted issues. Ensure conflicting actions are resolved—the most recent action will override previous ones.
  6. Regularly Update Macros: Keep your macros current by reviewing them periodically. Update content to reflect changes in policies, procedures, or product offerings.
  7. Train Your Team: Ensure all team members are familiar with available macros and understand how to use them effectively to maintain consistency in customer communications.
Web2Chat macros are powerful tools that enhance efficiency, consistency, and customer satisfaction in your support interactions. By starting with the customer's needs and following best practices, you can create effective macros that empower your team to provide exceptional service.
