Chat shortcuts

To make customer service more practical and thus increase the productivity of the attendant in a conversation, the AnnA platform has some Chat Shortcuts, which allow you to paste files copied from your computer into the chat and access the media gallery from commands. Check out all about these shortcuts in this topic.

Copying files from the computer to the chat

When we need to send a file to the user we’re assisting, we immediately think of uploading the file to the gallery and then sending it, or uploading it via attach media so as not to save it in the company gallery. But apart from these two options, we can also copy files from the computer and paste them directly into the chat, just like we do in WhatsApp. To do this, do the following:

  1. Select the files from your computer and copy them by pressing CTRL and C.
  2. Select the chat and press CTRL and V to paste the files.
  3. The files will be uploaded to the chat and then you can send them.

Copy files from your computer to the chat.

By typing ”/” in the chat you will see a list of commands that give you access to the items in the media gallery, such as:

  • Ready Phrases
  • Files
  • Contacts
