Not all emails require a verbose reply. Sometimes you just need to say “Thanks,” “OK” or “Great idea.” This is the point Quick Replies come in handy. Spark allows you to send a short reply to an email in just two taps. You can use a number of default Quick Replies as well as create your own ones.
Turn on Quick Replies
- Click Spark at the top left of your screen.
- Open Settings > General.
- Select Quick Replies at the top.
- Tick Enable.
In Spark for iOS, Quick Replies are always available, so you don't need to take any steps to turn them on.
Use Quick Replies
- Open an email and click Quick Reply under the message.
- Select a reply.
For the 5 seconds after sending a reply, you can press Cmd + Z to undo this action.
The Quick Replies are available only for personal emails. To change the email type, click on the current message type at the top right and select Personal.
- Open an email and tap More at the bottom right.
- Scroll the list of available options to the right and select Quick Reply.
- Tap one of the options.
For the 5 seconds after sending a Quick reply, you can cancel this action by tapping Undo.
Note: You can move Quick replies from the More section to the main toolbar and act on your emails even faster. To learn how to do it, check this article.
