Configure Email Autofill Actions

Updated 

Email Autofill rules automatically populate predefined information when an agent opens the email composer.

Unlike outbound rules (which run at send time), Autofill rules update the draft during composition, allowing agents to review and edit before sending.

Use Autofill rules to:

  • Add recipients to CC or BCC
  • Replace or update the subject line
  • Append text to the subject
  • Insert standard content into the email body

These rules help reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and speed up responses.

How Autofill Works

When an Autofill rule is applied:

  • It runs when the reply composer opens
  • Predefined values are automatically populated
  • Agents can review and modify the content before sending

Available Email Autofill Actions

1. Replace subject

Replaces the existing subject with a predefined value.

  • Example:

    • Original: “Please check this urgently”
    • Updated: “1233”

2. Append content to subject

Adds text to the existing subject without removing it.

  • Example:

    • Original: “Payment Issue”
    • Result: “Payment Issue [Case #12345]”

3. Append email content

Adds predefined content to the email body.

Common uses include:

  • Legal or compliance statements
  • Standard instructions
  • Email signatures or disclaimers
