How to Set Up Canned Messages (Email Templates)

Canned emails are premade templates designed to answer frequently asked questions. Rather than crafting individual responses each time, you can swiftly tailor and send these precomposed email templates. Simply type the message one time as a canned message, then use it again and again as necessary.
