Twitter Profile

  1. In-App Profile Color: This color is only used in Social Connect. This color will be associated with this social profile when you select from the list of profiles to respond with in the inbox.
    All of the fields you fill out for Twitter

    Example: Here’s what the in-app color looks like:
    Barnaby Smith is highlighted in purple in the inbox
  2. Custom Profiles: Create individual profiles for your customer support team. See Custom Twitter Profiles.
  3. Name: Edit the name that appears in your Twitter profile.
  4. URL: Add a link to your website in your Twitter profile.
  5. Location: Change the location listed on your profile.
  6. Bio: Edit the Biography of your profile. This field is limited to 160 characters.
    Qtip: Any URL added in your bio will automatically be shortened to t.co URLs by Twitter. This can change the total word count of your Twitter bio after you hit Save.
  7. Privacy Policy: In order to get access to the NPS®/CSAT features and Twitter Custom Profiles, Twitter requires you to share a link to your privacy policy. Add that URL here.
    Example: https://www.qualtrics.com/privacy-statement/
  8. Welcome Message: Customers will see your welcome message if they direct message your Twitter profile:
    Twitter welcome messages and quick replies

  9. Quick Replies: Quick replies are options your customers can click to get a quick, automatic response. Quick replies can be set up for your most frequently asked questions or concerns. Add up to 5 quick replies and choose their corresponding flows.
    Twitter app message with buttons below where you'd enter a message

    Example: Add a quick reply like “How do I get a refund?” to respond to the customer with information about your refund process.
    Attention: You need to create a welcome message before you can use quick replies.
  10. Attach a quick reply to every outgoing message: This setting lets you add buttons for specific quick replies to every outgoing message. That means if a representative manually responds to the customer, the customer will still see quick reply buttons.
    Example: At the end of every message, add a quick reply asking, “Was this answer helpful?” and let the customer fill out a satisfaction rating.
    Qtip: Once your representative responds to the customer, these quick responses will appear instead of the ones from step 9. If there are quick replies you want to always appear, you should add them in both places.

  11. Save: Save your changes when you’re finished.

Example: This is what the name (ClaraLines), URL (clarabridge.com/claralines/), location (Claraland), and bio look like in a Twitter profile:

A twitter profile for a fictional airline

Quick Replies

Qtip: Quick replies are not sent when representatives send replies that contain an attachment, like a CSAT, or buttons.

  6. Persistent Menu:  This option lets you add a menu in Messenger conversations that never disappears. This menu should contain actions that customers can enact at any point.
