Granting permissions to users to create Quick Text:

You need to enable a few specific permissions for support agents so that they have access to all the tools that they’ll need to provide help to customers. To allow agents to use Quick Text in the Live Agent console, in Live Agent in the Salesforce console, or in the Email, Portal, Log a Call, and Change Status actions in Case Feed:

Step1: Organization-Wide Defaults

Step2: Object permissions from profiles/permission set

Testing Quick Text [for example we will demonstrate in salesforce console]:

1. Navigate to the salesforce console that was created by you. If not created please create one for your app.
2. In our example lets consider we have cases assigned to the agents. (You may need to replicate this scenarios by creating a salesforce console app with case object and create few records for case object to test this qucik text in feed email.)
3. Now click on a case record and go to the feed section of the case as shown below (You can click on the “Answer Customer” section in case layout.)
4. Now click on the rich text area under the “Email” option.
5. Start typing double semicolon (;;<any text keyword from the quick text messages>).
6. And there it is… As show in the screenshot we have the quick texts which had the keywords that you types after the ;;

Now you can go ahead and play around the Quick Texting… 🙂
