  5. Four points to keep in mind. Menus differ by device and version; look for Business tools in the settings. Only send messages with permission, and never unsolicited to large groups. These tips are about the free app, not the business platform for connecting software. Make quick replies personal, so they fit the question.

Quick replies: saved answers to common questions, brought up by typing “/” in a chat. 5. Labels: to see which chats are new, waiting for an answer or done.
