Gmail new feature: Canned Response!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Northern Virginia Homes - FRANKLY REAL ESTATE Inc

I just stumbled upon a new feature in Gmail called CANNED RESPONSE.

After logging into Gmail, you find it by

1) clicking on SETTINGS (top right) and then

2) clicking on  LABS (upper right) and then

3) half way down you need to ENABLE Canned Responses.

 

Why does this save a TON of time? Well if you get emails or leads from people asking for rentals in another state and you don't want to be rude and ingore them, just write a canned response once. Or if you tend to ask the same follow up questions like "Are you working with a lender" or "What area are you considering" you can write several one liners or multi paragraph responses.

Sure you can save a version in a text doc and open it, but this 1 click little feature is awesome.

 

Enjoy.

Thanks Frank, I had not noticed it. But, it sounds like outlook where you can add signatures. So that is definately a time saver. Can I get rid of all the short sale and loan modifications specialist ?

Funny you should mention that. Yes it is just like that. One of my agents that use Outlook didn't know that you could use the Signature file to easily drop in cookie cutter messages.

Frank,

Looks like a time saving feature. I have a G-mail but I never got to use it.   A feind of mine is a huge fan of G-mail. I am an old timer and stick to outlook

Ran across this older post on Gmail... it's funny that we miss so much... but then I think it's because there's just so much on the screen and we get used to ignoring a lot of it.

Thanks for this blog I just discovered this and all the other cool features in labs thanks to you.  I really appreciate it -- I need to remember to poke around my gmail account instead of just going inside and out of it.
