# Set up Smart Reply

> Cut down on the amount of time and effort needed to answer customer questions.

Smart Reply provides conversational templates that help you better manage conversations with customers. Once you activate Smart Reply, Emotive Shopping Experts will start responding to your customers’ responses to **Flows**.

This feature saves your team time and effort by letting Emotive Shopping Experts respond to your customers. This reduces the amount of incoming questions and frees up resources that would be better focused elsewhere!

## Set up Smart Reply

To get started:

* Head to the [Smart Reply](https://www.emotiveapp.co/smart_reply) page in your Settings.
* Select any of the available topics:
  * Greetings
  * Discount Code
  * Shipping
  * Returns
* Click **Set up** to customize the response templates.

<Note>
  Smart Reply topics are based on the most common customer questions and responses we see coming through the Emotive platform.
</Note>

* Each topic has sample language for you to use. Edit each response to fit your brand voice and policies.
* Click to toggle ON the topics / responses you want to use.
* Once you're happy with your edits, click **Activate**.
