0:00 In this video, we’re going to look at how we use Quick replies as well as how we can customize quick replies. In spark. We’re going to look at this on the Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now, what are quick replies? Well, let’s talk about messages here real quick. When we’re using messages, what we can do is we can like a message, we can laugh at a message. Well, that’s basically what quick replies are. When we receive an email, I can respond to an email with a quick reply, I can laugh at an email, I can agree with an email, I can smile at an email, I can like an email with just a click of a button. 0:38 And then what spark will do is send that response. What we can also do is customize what that response is and create our own quick replies. And again, we can do this on the Mac, iPad and iPhone. Let’s take a look at Quick replies, we’re first going to look at this on the Mac. 0:55 So I’m looking at Spark here. And if I look at this email here, this email that Johnny sent me, you’re going to see I have the option to offer a quick reply. All I have to do is just click on this. And then from here, what I’m able to do is like it, I can smile at it, I can love it. I can also agree call say that it’s a great idea to that it’s cool or laugh at it. This is what quick replies are, I just select it, and it sends that message that reply to that person automatically. 1:30 We can even customize what these quick replies are. To do that, what we do is we go up to our preferences for Spark. So I’m going to go up to spark here. And then we go over to our Preferences. Under preferences, we have a number of different tabs. So we need to do is go to our general tab, under General, you’re going to see quick replies. From here, I can go and select what quick replies I’d like to edit, and I can create new ones. Now when you create a quick reply, you can put a variable in there, you’re going to see it says percent name percent. This is your name, it pulls it from your email account. So depending on which email account you are using, if you have a different name, maybe you have a formal name, when you use a quick reply, it’ll pull that name from that account. To create a new quick reply, you just click on the plus, 2:24 type in a name for and then type in what you want it to say if I go back over to hahaha, you’re gonna see that says percent name percent, which is my name, laughed at this so you can go and change this. And then of course, you can also add an icon. 2:40 Let’s see what this looks like on the iPad. So I’m looking at Spark here, and I have my same email pulled up. In order to do a quick reply on the iPad, what we need to do is go down to the three dots here. Now depending on which iPad you have, you may see it right next to these three dots as well. On my other iPad, it actually shows next to these three dots. But basically all you have to do is just click on this, and then you’re going to see quick reply. When I click on this, what I’m able to do is respond with a quick reply. I want to edit this, I just click on edit here. And now I can edit these, I can go on add a new one. And I can 3:25 rearrange them by dragging these three lines around. 3:29 In order to do this from the settings from Spark settings, what we do is we go to our three horizontal lines here. And then we go down to settings. And under Settings, you’re going to see quick replies. Click on it. And again, I can go and edit these 3:48 on the iPhone, it’s basically in the same spot as the iPad. I’m going to go to my iPhone here, and we’re gonna go to that email. I want to use a quick reply here. I tap on the three dots at the very bottom, you’re gonna see quick reply here. I tap on it, and I’m able to quick reply. Let’s go ahead and quick reply. So you can kind of see how this works. So I’m just gonna go like 4:12 send the reply. And now just replied with that quick reply. So you can see how easy it is to use Quick replies. If I’d like to edit it, I can go to the settings to do that. We go to our three lines up at the top, we go to settings. And then just like with the iPad, you’re gonna see quick replies here, tap on it. And I can go down at these. I can create a new one by tapping on Add New, I can edit these, tap on it and then I can go and change it change the icon change the text, you’re gonna see it has the variable in there. And what I’m able to do is rearrange these. 4:54 So that’s how we use Quick replies with Spark mail on the Mac, iPad and iPhone.
