As an administrator, review the installed components and modify them or add new ones as applicable.

    Configure a response template with a reusable message that legal fulfillers can use to send users quick and consistent messages through work notes, comments, emails, or chat conversations.

    For chat response templates, you can specify a short name that can be used as a shortcut to present the response message to a user quickly.

  • Create an email notification
