Using Templates Without Sounding Like One
WhatsApp’s informality is a feature, not a licence for chaos: quick replies keep your tone consistent at 7am and 9pm alike. Save these into WhatsApp Business’s quick-reply shortcuts and personalise the first line each time.
Faster still: paste the message you received into ReplyBoost and it drafts the reply for you — matched to the platform and situation, ready to edit. The templates above make you quick; the tool makes you instant.
