# Templated answers with Canned Replies

### Overview

Canned Replies can be used to send pre-defined answers on recurring questions, without having to type the same answer over and over for different tickets. 

It can save you time writing the answer every time a ticket comes in with the same question, making your work as an Agent easier. 

Canned Replies are stored per Inbox, which means that you can have different replies for different Inboxes. This can help you have different replies for the different teams that are using Suptask.
