Canned Replies Reports

Canned Replies reports provide valuable insight into how canned responses are created and used within your support environment. The Contribution report highlights agent activity with canned replies showing how often they create, edit, review, or insert responses helping managers evaluate individual engagement with the system. The Popularity report focuses on usage trends, showing which replies are most frequently used in tickets or live chats and which may be candidates for retirement. Together, these reports give a clear picture of both agent contribution and the effectiveness of your canned replies.

To access Canned Replies reports, log in to the SmarterTrack management interface as a System Administrator. From the top menu, click More, then select Reports from the dropdown. Canned Replies Reports will display, with all available report categories listed in the left-hand navigation panel.

Contribution & Popularity Trend Reports

Contribution and Popularity Trend reports make it easy to see how saved responses are being created and used over time. The Contribution Trend report tracks activity such as creating, editing, reviewing, flagging, deleting, or inserting canned replies into tickets, giving managers insight into how often and in what ways replies are being maintained. The Popularity Trend report shows how frequently canned replies are used and how many agents rely on them, helping teams understand adoption and consistency in customer communications.

  • Contribution Trend - Shows the number of times canned replies were created, edited, review, flagged, deleted, or inserted into tickets during a set time period.

note: Certain items may appear differently, based how items are grouped using the Group By dropdown. For example, The Live Chat Cost Breakdown summary report may show 0 Incoming Live Chat Transfers while the trend report shows a number greater than 0. This is generally due to having the Group By set to Group view versus the Agent view. Live chat transfers only happen between Agents, not Groups.
