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)
