# Quick Reply Button

### **What Are** Quick Reply **Button Templates?**

Quick Reply Button templates on Mercuri allow brands to send WhatsApp messages with quick action buttons. These buttons help users respond instantly without typing, which improves engagement and reduces drop-offs.

Typical buttons include:

* **Quick replies** (e.g., “Yes”, “No”, “Track Order”)
* **Lead actions** (e.g., “Book a Demo”, “Get a Quote”)
* **Support options** (e.g., “Chat with Agent”)

#### Use Case: Appointment Reminder & Rescheduling

Send automated reminders for confirmed appointments and allow customers to take quick action directly through WhatsApp. This reduces no-shows and eliminates the need for manual follow-ups or phone calls.

**Message Example:**

> Hi there! Your appointment is scheduled for tomorrow.\
> Use the button if you need to make any changes.
>
> **Buttons:**
>
> `Confirm`
>
> `Reschedule`

**Why it works:**\
This reduces no-show appointments and makes it easy for customers to confirm or reschedule without calling or waiting for support.

**Industry examples:**

* Healthcare (Doctor/Dental/Diagnostic)
* Salon & Spa
* Coaching, Education Classes
* Home services (AC repair, Cleaning, Electrician)
