# Respond to a case using an email quick message

Use predefined quick email messages to quickly draft replies to customers. Agents can select predefined quick messages to add content into the message body of emails.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_customerservice\_agent

## About this task

Business managers and admins can set up email quick messages and predefine the content for replying to cases. For example, you can predefine personal greetings, disclaimers, different types of additional information, and signatures.

You can incorporate icons, business logos, pictures, HTML layout, and rich text format. You can also configure quick messages so that only a certain user or a group can view them.
