  description

  Write emails faster with templates.
  
  Create templates from repetitive pieces of text. Insert them into your emails or messages in seconds using shortcuts, and respond faster to your customers!
  ➤ Use for: Customer Support, Sales, Personal productivity.
  ➤ Works great on Gmail™, Outlook.com, LinkedIn, Facebook, and many more sites.
  
  ★ Keyboard shortcuts (or snippets)
  Do you always end your emails with “Kind regards, Ken”? With keyboard shortcuts, you can type kr, press the TAB key, and get the same result — only faster!
  
  ★ Create your own templates
  Do you often find yourself typing the same text in your emails? Turn it into a template! Then, use a shortcut to insert it and reply within seconds.
  Templates are similar to Gmail™ Canned Responses but are faster, easier to customize, and work on any site.
  
  ★ Variables
  Do most of your emails start with “Hello firstname”? Press h and then TAB, and Briskine will write “Hello Jennifer” (if you’re writing to Jennifer, of course).
  
  ★ Search
  Don’t remember your shortcuts? Search and insert templates directly from the compose box.
  
  ★ Share templates with your team (Premium)
  Make sure everyone has access to your company templates and set a consistent tone for your external emails.
  
  ★ Permissions and privacy
  Briskine needs broad permissions to work on any site. But you’re always in control — you can block it from running on specific sites (from the blocklist in the Briskine dashboard) or allow it to run only on some sites through Chrome’s extension settings.
