Send a snippet sequence
Chain several pre-written messages (text, image, audio, file) to send them all at once, in order.
A snippet doesn't have to be a single message — you can build multi-step snippets, each step a different type (text, image, audio, video, or file), and send them all together with one click, in the defined order.
Requirements
- Multi-step snippets are created or edited from Snippets (accessible from your account or workspace menu).
- Each step can optionally have a small delay before it's sent (handy for simulating natural typing).
Steps to send it from the Inbox
- In the composer, type "/" to open the Snippets picker.
- Choose the multi-step snippet you need.
- A preview of the sequence appears above the composer: "Snippet sequence: N messages", with a numbered card for each step.
- If any step has variables (e.g.
{{customer.name}}), fill them in or edit them by clicking the corresponding pill. - Click Send all to send the steps in order, or Cancel to discard the sequence.
Example
A welcome snippet has 3 steps: a text ("Hi {{customer.name}}! Thanks for reaching out"), an image (the company logo), and another text ("How can we help you today?"). The agent picks it with "/", fills in the customer's name in the variable, and clicks Send all — all three messages go out in order, without building them one by one.
Tips
- If you type extra text in the composer while the sequence is staged, that text gets added as one final extra step when you send all, so nothing is lost.
- To create or edit multi-step snippets, go to the Snippets section of your account.
